The Dalmore 18 Years Old 43% - 2023 Edition.
The Dalmore 18 Years Old – 2023 Edition is a whisky that captures everything The Dalmore stands for: depth, elegance and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. This refined expression begins its journey in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, where it develops layers of vanilla sweetness and warming oak. It is then elevated through a long, patient finish in rare Matusalem Oloroso sherry butts, hand-selected from González Byass, a partnership The Dalmore has cherished for decades.
The result is a single malt of remarkable richness. Aromas of dark chocolate, orange marmalade and soft winter spices rise from the glass. On the palate, notes of chocolate-covered raisins, roasted coffee, citrus zest and nutmeg unfold with extraordinary balance, before settling into a long, indulgent finish of toffee and stewed fruits. Every sip reflects 18 years of quiet transformation.
Founded in 1839 on the shores of the Cromarty Firth, The Dalmore Distillery has long been known for its bold spirit character and its devotion to exceptional cask selection. The iconic 12-pointed Royal Stag on every bottle is more than a symbol — it is a mark of heritage, honour and the distillery’s centuries-old connection to Scotland’s noble history.
The 2023 Edition of Dalmore 18 is more than a whisky; it is a celebration of time, tradition and the art of maturation. A distinguished addition for collectors, and a sensational Highland malt for those seeking true depth and sophistication.
