Dalmore
Tasting Notes
A heavenly delight, this Dalmore 17 Year Old 2000 Distillery Exclusive Merlot Barrique Finish is a true masterpiece. With an initial maturation in American white oak bourbon casks, the whisky imbibed luscious flavors that were later enhanced by its time spent in a Merlot barrique. The nose captivates with succulent notes of Black Forest fruits, plump Victoria plums, and sweet apricots, enticing the senses. On the palate, a medley of flavors unfolds – juicy Morello cherries, blueberry pie, cinnamon, and chewy liquorice, creating a symphony of deliciousness. The finish lingers with indulgent notes of chocolate truffles, coffee, and rich black toffee, leaving a lasting impression. Truly exceptional, this single malt is a testament to the artistry of the Dalmore distillery, with only 270 coveted bottles produced, making it a rare and sought-after treasure.
