Dalmore – Cigar Malt Reserve (70cl, 44%)

Dalmore – Cigar Malt Reserve is a single malt whisky from Dalmore (Highland). Bottled at 44% ABV, 70cl. Finished in premier Cru Cabernet Sauvignon Barriques. The Dalmore's heritage dates back to 1263, when an ancestor of the Clan Mackenzie, owners of The Dalmore distillery for over a century, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a charging stag. In recognition of this noble act, the grateful King granted Clan Mackenzie the right to use a 12-point stag, representing a 'Royal', in their coat of arms. This striking icon has since adorned each bottle of The Dalmore symbolising The Dalmore distillery's regal legacy. The Dalmore is crafted using a 150-year-old artisan process passed down through the generations. Eight hand-beaten copper stills of variable shape and size deliver a fully flavoured and complex new spirit, which is then enriched over the years in the finest American white oak ex-bourbon casks and hand-selected oloroso sherry butts. This Dalmore was matured in American white oak and oloroso sherry wood, finessed in cabernet sauvignon barriques to complement a fine cigar.
