The Dalmore 12
🔬 Whiskey Details
🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Bold sherry influence with dark chocolate, Seville orange marmalade, and espresso notes complemented by raisins and Christmas cake spices. Hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and polished oak add depth to the rich, inviting bouquet.
Rich and full-bodied with waves of bitter chocolate, candied orange peel, and dried fruits balanced by warming spices and sherried sweetness. Coffee grounds, marzipan, and dark caramel appear mid-palate alongside robust oak and a hint of smoke.
Medium to long finish with lingering dark chocolate, orange zest, and warm spices that fade into coffee and oak tannins.
🥃 How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.
A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
