Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve
Single Malt
The Dalmore // Highlands, Scotland
Founded in 1839 on the northern shores of the Firth of Cromarty in the Scottish Highlands, Dalmore has been associated with Clan Mackenzie since 1867, whose 12-point Royal Stag emblem appears on every bottle.
Part of the distillery's Principal Collection, Cigar Malt Reserve is a marriage of single malt stocks matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, Cabernet Sauvignon barriques, and González Byass sherry casks that previously held 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry.

Tasting Notes
"The nose on this complex Highland whiskey offers bright orange peel, rich aromas of figs and raisins followed by dry Baker’s chocolate, nutty sherry notes and just a whisper of delicate smoke. The palate is robust with ripe tropical fruit, raisins and orange zest. This is followed by dark chocolate, vanilla and unctuous sherry notes. This whiskey finishes long and spicy with hints of fennel, sharp ginger and rich vanilla notes. "
