The Dalmore 12 Years has intricate aromas and flavours. Moreover it is recognised as a whisky with character far beyond its age. Andrew Mackenzie demonstrated his pioneering character by doubling the maturation period. His boldness truly paid off, The Dalmore 12 year old still stands apart as an exceptional whisky today, as it did then. This spirit takes an initial nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks to mature. Then, the spirit divides into its final flourish. One half remains in the bourbon barrels, while the other is transferred to exclusive 30 year old Gonzalez Byass Matusalem oloroso sherry butts before they are reunited to create this phenomenal whisky.
