Dalmore Cromartie is the third in a series of limited edition releases crafted by Dalmore's Master Distiller, Richard Patterson, in homage to the clan Mackenzie. This luscious Dalmore is matured in American white oak casks before being transferred to Oloroso sherry casks from world-renowned bodega; Gonzalez Byass, Jerez de la Frontera.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Floral, with thick dried fruit; there are raisins, dates and some candied peels.
The palate is as thick as the nose suggests. The dried fruit dominates... add figs to the mix, plus there's sweet marmalade, chocolate and leather, with a good jolt of pepper.
Dark, dark chocolate, 80 percent cocoa solids at least. A balanced bitterness over marmalade caramel.
Thick, dark and reassuring. A whisky you have to chew.
