Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated and complex bouquet opens with notes of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and well-integrated oak. Hints of roasted coffee beans, marmalade, and subtle spice from the sherry cask maturation mingle with a rich, malty foundation. There's a delicate floral undertone and a whisper of ginger.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and full-bodied, delivering a luxurious wave of dried fruits – figs, raisins, and dates – seamlessly interwoven with bitter orange, marzipan, and treacle toffee. A refined spice, including cinnamon and nutmeg, emerges alongside a dark chocolate richness, balanced by the characteristic Dalmore citrus zest and a gentle, nutty warmth.

Finish: The finish is long, elegant, and exceptionally warming, leaving lingering notes of dark cocoa, spiced orange, roasted nuts, and a touch of sweet oak. A satisfying dryness gradually develops, inviting further exploration, with a persistent reminder of its sherry-cask influence.
