Dalmore, 15 yr old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700ml, 40.0% abv, Scotland, Highland

Time, different cask types, varying sizes, and warehouse conditions can all influence the maturity of a single malt. For this Dalmore, 13 years in American Bourbon Casks and then a year split between Matusalem, Apostoles and Amoroso sherry butts from Jerez de la Frontera have been elemental. And to achieve this extra layer of complexity, they marry these liquids together in a sherry butt for one final year. The redolence of these vessels delivers the perfect balance between spirit, wood and maturity.

• Dalmore 15 is one of those whiskies that should come with a warning label, if you aren’t careful, you may just end up drinking too much of it!
