Wine Enthusiast
This amber Highland Scotch was aged in former bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. The end result is a robust, full-bodied, luscious sip, with plenty of rich, concentrated caramel, toffee, fudge and cocoa. It finishes long and bracing, with clove, cigar wrapper and espresso accents. (KN)

Whisky Advocate
Matured in American oak and Oloroso Sherry casks. The nose is fragrant with honey, vanilla, ginger, orange marmalade, and a hint of smoke. Relatively full-bodied, with flavors of tangy orange, marzipan, sherry, bitter chocolate, then oak. The finish is long, with licorice and citrus fruit. (GS, Summer 2019)
K&L Notes
An evolution of The Dalmore house style, this 18 year old expression harnesses bolder notes. A robust and formidable whisky, The Dalmore 18 showcases the result of extended maturation and the influence of the wood.
Matured initially for 14 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the spirit is then transferred to 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry butts for a further four years. These sherry butts, from the world-renowned sherry house Gonzalez Byass, are selected exclusively for The Dalmore.
