Tasting Notes
Dalmunach, a newcomer on the whisky scene, has already made its mark with this 7-Year-Old expression from 2016. Matured initially in bourbon hogsheads, it was then finished for two years in Pedro Ximénez sherry barriques, imparting a luxurious depth to the dram. On the nose, it tantalizes with layers of nutty creaminess, milk chocolate, and the comforting aroma of Malted Milk biscuits, complemented by the sweetness of dates. The palate unveils a delightful symphony of fruit scones, toasted marzipan, cinnamon snaps, and the juicy essence of barley. The finish lingers with buttery oak, toasted malt, runny caramel, and a subtle touch of pepper, leaving a delightful warmth on the tongue. This whisky showcases Dalmunach's promising potential, skillfully blending the richness of sherry with the distillery's unique character.
