Dalmore – Port Wood Reserve Single Malt Whisky (70cl, 46.5%)

This is a Highland single malt from Dalmore, bottled at 46.5% in a 70cl bottle. The whisky first matured in American white oak casks. It was then divided: one half stayed in the white oak, while the other half moved into old tawny port pipes from the W&J Graham's winery. The two parts were then brought back together. The nose shows port from the start, sweet but not sticky, with gugelhupf cake, raisins and a hint of plum. The palate offers nectarine, creamy caramel, roasted chestnuts and Java coffee, and the finish brings sultanas, blood orange and soft cherries.
