Dalmore Port Wood Reserve 70cl Whisky
Dalmore Port Wood Reserve
Single malt from the Dalmore distillery, initially aged in American white oak casks before enjoying a finishing period in Port pipes. These casks were sourced from well-known port producer W&J Graham's. This isn't the first time that Dalmore has shown an appreciation for Graham's casks - a trio of releases from mid-2017 were all finished in Graham's Port casks (see here, here and here).
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Clove-studded orange, rich raspberry and prune, a touch of sponge cake.
Palate
Chocolatey at first, before waves of dried fruit and stem ginger notes appear. A touch of earthy bitterness develops later on, balanced by runny honey.
Finish
Roast chestnuts, gingerbread and tobacco.
Winner of 2 spirit awards
