The
Look
Pour a dram of The Dalmore into a glass. Take in the golden amber
color of The Dalmore 12- and 21-year-old whiskies, which comes from
aging predominantly in bourbon barrels. Look deep into a glass of
Cigar Malt or Stillmans Dram, and youll notice a more
ruby hue, which comes from aging predominantly in Spanish sherry casks.
The
Nose
Pour The Dalmore into a glass and nose it bravely! Dont just
wave it under your noseget your nose right into the glass.
As you inhale, part your lips to draw off the alcohol, so you can
savor more layers of The Dalmore. Delight in the predominant characteristic
of The Highland whiskies, the honey-sweetness from the heather,
which grows throughout the Highlands.
The
Feel
When you sip The Dalmore, each whisky presents a distinctive, sensual
experience.
The
12 Year Dalmore is a lively, younger whisky. The experience
is more towards the front of your mouth. It can be enjoyed straight
up, on the rocks, with a splash of water, and even with ginger ale
as a cocktail.
The
21 Year Dalmore has a long, smooth feel. It has aged nine more
years in the barrels, using a higher percentage of bourbon barrels
in the process. The feel is velvet on the back of the tongue and
palate.
The
Cigar Malt is a lip-smacking good whisky. Its a drier
single malt Scotch, using a higher percentage of Olorosso sherry
barrels in the aging. This chewy whisky is enjoyed more in the center
of the tongue.
The
Stillmans Dram is aged to perfection. Mellow on the tongue
from 28 years in the barrel, this whisky fills your mouth with layers
of flavor that continue to unfold.
The
Flavour
As with all single malt Scotch whiskies, we recommend trying The
Dalmore straight up first. Then add some spring water at room temperature
to open the whisky. You may find that you prefer it without, but
by adding water you can find the depth of the spirit and explore
the many layers of your single malt Scotches.
The
12 Year Dalmore imparts rich vanilla and caramel notes, derived
from aging in bourbon barrels, and a hint of citrus from the distillation
in copper pot stills.
The
21 Year Dalmore bursts with a rare and balanced spectrum of
full, rich flavors that vigorously intermingle with ample overtones
of vanilla and caramel.
The
Cigar Malt presents a strong, malty character up front, and
reveals a wealth of classic flavors that linger pleasantly on the
tongue.
The
Stillmans Dram warms your palate with a multitude of complex
flavors. Its extensive aging pays off with a delightful and vividly
memorable experience.
The
Silence
Experiencing The Dalmore utilizes all five senses. When you sip
The Dalmore, enjoy the color, the nose, the feel, the flavor, and
yes, the sound of silence. The silence of pure pleasure that such
a fine spirit delivers.
