The Dalmore 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky 750mL

The Dalmore 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | Scotland | Aged 12 Years

Process & Profile

The Dalmore 12 Year Old is a classic Highland single malt known for a smooth, rich style shaped by a two-cask maturation approach. It begins aging in American white oak ex-bourbon casks to build vanilla sweetness and a rounded texture, then a portion is finished in Oloroso sherry casks to add deeper fruit, chocolatey warmth, and gentle spice before the whiskies are brought together for balance. The result is a polished, dessert-leaning single malt that’s approachable for newer Scotch drinkers while still satisfying for fans of sherry influence.
