"Dalmore marries the best points of Bourbon and Sherry cask aging to birth a whisky with complex aromas of vanilla bean, dried plum, and dark chocolate. The palate carries a lace-y quality combining rich barrel flavors with a backbone of toasted cereals."

"The Dalmore 12 is recognized as a whisky with character far beyond its age. The spirit is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, yielding soft vanilla and honey notes. A proportion of the spirit is then finessed in pinnacle Sherry casks, including 30-Year Old Matusalem Oloroso casks, exclusive to The Dalmore, to give the whisky a rich, nutty character. The two styles are then reunited to create an outstanding single malt."
