The Dalmore 12 is smooth, rich and well rounded; the epitome of The Dalmore house style. The spirit is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks for nine years, yielding soft vanilla and honey notes. It is then finished in multiple rare Sherry casks for two years, including two available only to The Dalmore distillery. Each Sherry cask gifts the whisky with its own individual characteristics before they're all married back together.
