Scottish distillery The Dalmore has announced The Dalmore 102 Proof Aged 12 Years, a limited-edition Highland single malt bottled at 51% ABV, hence the name. It is not a stronger version of the classic 40% Dalmore 12, but a new recipe.
The whisky spent ten years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and was then split between Oloroso casks and casks made exclusively for The Dalmore by González Byass, which had held a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez. The official notes mention candied citrus, raisins, orange marmalade, dark chocolate and freshly roasted coffee.
The edition will be available from November 2, exclusively on The Dalmore’s website, at a suggested price of £90; members of The Dalmore Guild get early access.
At Mister Tabaco you can find The Dalmore Quintet, and the full drinks range is in the Alcohol category.
