The Dalmore Select Edition 2005 Distilled Scotch Whisky, 750mL

The Dalmore Select Edition 2005 is a distinguished Highland single malt Scotch whisky, meticulously crafted to capture the essence of its 2005 distillation. This limited edition expression is initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, enhancing its sweet malt, soft fruit, and citrus characteristics. The whisky is then further enriched by hand-selected Matusalem and Vintage 2005 sherry casks, imparting additional layers of complexity. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of cinnamon roll, chocolate buttercream, cigar box, leather, tobacco, honey, flambéed cherries, and walnut oil. The palate reveals flavors of cinnamon and cocoa-dusted grilled dates, leather, black cherry, walnut paste, and Manuka honey in oolong tea with orange zest, leading to a finish of rich plum complemented by moist ginger cake, roast chestnut, and soft wood spice. Bottled at 49.3% ABV, this non-chill filtered expression maintains its natural color, exemplifying The Dalmore's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship.
