The Dalmore 15 Year Old epitomizes the house style, capturing richness and elegance. After aging in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky undergoes an intricate finish in an array of sherry casks—Apostoles, Amoroso, and Matusalem Oloroso—each imparting unique layers of complexity. Masterfully crafted by renowned whisky maker Richard Paterson, this single malt harmonizes base notes of vanilla and honey with rich sherry cask influences for an elegant, lipsmacking experience.
