Description
Winner of a Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2018!
A welcome return from a much revered single malt whisky – and a fine dram whether you drink it with its intended purpose in mind or not.
The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is actually a reworking of the original Dalmore Cigar Malt which was discontinued in 2009.
The new version is significantly different, incorporating older stocks and a more adventurous ageing process with multiple casks adding to this whisky’s distinct character.
Wood Portrait:
Matured initially in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry butts, it is then finessed in premier cru Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques.
Distillery: Dalmore
Alness, Scotland
For over 150 years, The Dalmore has set the standard in multi cask maturation.
The Dalmore house style derives from a close and trusted relationship that was forged with sherry house González Byass over 100 years ago.
The rare casks, which have previously held 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry, are exclusive to The Dalmore. These casks enrich the signature chocolate and orange character of our whisky with rich and nutty flavours.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Caramel, shortbread, biscuits, coffee and chocolates with an aroma of cinnamon, vanilla and red fruits.
Palate: Yet more toffee, caramel edging towards the burnt cinder-toffee side of things. Flamed orange-zest, vanilla ice cream and perfectly integrated sherry
Finish: Reasonably simple, Christingles (orange Zest and clove with a touch of cinnamon), more mid-palate than palate-coating before finally, crushed spices.
