Region:Scotland > Highland
SOLD OUT! - !!!Not expected to return to KWM!!!
Like the other 3 gold label releases of the Small Batch range from Cadenhead, this Dalmore is very limited, with just 6 bottles having found their way to Canada, all to KWM. It is from a single sherry butt at cask strength of 46.2%. 150 bottles released world-wide.
Owned by the parent company of Springbank Distillery, Cadenhead's has very extensive stocks, which it sells through its own chain of shops. The Small Batch Collection was created to sell their whisky at other select retailers. This 37 year old Dalmore is unique in that independent bottlings from this distillery are seldom seem. Only 6 of the 150 bottles produced have come to Canada, all of them to KWM. Bottled at cask strength of 46.2% from single (presumably refill) sherry butt, this is the only one of the new releases we don't expect to open.
Producer's Tasting Note
Nose: sweet and syruppy with a very thick feeling nose. Strawberry syrup and raspberry sorbet. Lots of juicy fruits. Very fresh with a faint hint of tobacco.
Palate: runny toffee, a hint of oak but balanced by oranges, lemon zest and grapefruits. Soft spice notes- star anise, allspice and faint cinnamon.
Finish: Lingering spiciness, a touch of fresh wood and lots of oily fruitiness. A contemplative whisky.
