The exceptional richness of The Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky benefits from slightly longer maturation than is typically practised in Scotland. So their youngest expression is bottled only after twelve years, rather than the more usual ten. Dalmore's Master Blender, with some four decades of expertise, has discovered that the complex spirit from their stills is too rich to be tamed by a single style of cask. He favours fusing together the sweet, vanilla rich whiskies from ex bourbon barrels with the aromatic, spicy and dried fruits characters from sherry casks from Spain.
