The Dalmore 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select
The Dalmore 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select is a Highland single malt matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a refined finishing period in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This dual maturation enhances the whisky’s depth, layering sweet fruits, creamy toffee, and warm spice into an indulgent, well-balanced dram.
