About The Dalmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky<\/h2>\n

The Dalmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from plump, golden barley sourced from the rich, coastal soils of the Black Isle. Once the barley has been harvested, it is milled and mashed before being fermented with water drawn from the Cromarty Firth. That water, prior to reaching the firth, travels from Loch Morie through a number of peat bogs and limestone quarries, contributing to a slightly mineral and chewy mouthfeel to the whisky.<\/p>\n

Dalmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is aged for 14 years in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. Following its initial beautyrest, the whisky is double-barreled, or finished, for an additional 4 years in 30 year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks. This dual maturation process gives the whisky an intense aroma of red fruits, particularly raspberries, plums and cherries. Notes of milk chocolate, coffee and citrus dominate the palate, and give way to a spicy finish that is accented by notes of caramel, pear and nutmeg.<\/p>\n

Dalmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky earned a Gold Medal in the 2019 International Wine & Spirits Competition.<\/p>\n

About The Dalmore<\/h2>\n

Situated along the banks of Cromarty Firth in the Highlands region of Scotland, Dalmore Distillery was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, who had earned his fortune illegally importing opium from the Far East. In 1886, Matheson sold Dalmore Distillery to Clan MacKenzie, whose century-long stewardship and defining influence over the distillery is still evident today \u2014 the 12-point stag adorned on every bottle of Dalmore Distillery Whisky is derived from Clan MacKenzie’s coat of arms.<\/p>\n

Dalmore Distillery Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from plump, golden barley sourced from the rich, coastal soils of the Black Isle. Once the barley has been harvested, it is milled and mashed before being fermented with water drawn from the Cromarty Firth. Prior to reaching the firth, however, the water travels from Loch Morie through a number of peat bogs and limestone quarries, and thus, contributes a slightly mineral and chewy mouthfeel to the whisky.<\/p>\n

Once the barley has been fermented, the wash is distilled twice, fir st through Dalmore Distillery’s copper-pot wash stills and then again through its copper-pot spirit stills. The wash stills have an unusually flat top, while the spirit stills are equipped with cold water jackets. This unusual equipment \u2014 the water jackets rinse cold water near the top of the still \u2014 makes it difficult for the lighter elements of the whisky to pass through the still, and ultimately results in a more opulent and rich whisky. <\/p>\n

About Scotch<\/h2>\n

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.<\/p>\n
