The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is a luxurious Highland single malt Scotch whisky, specifically crafted to pair beautifully with cigars. This whisky undergoes a unique maturation process in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels, Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks, and Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks, resulting in a rich, complex, and full-bodied profile. Bottled at 44% ABV, it offers deep layers of sweetness, spice, and oak, making it a perfect match for premium cigars.
Nose: Rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and espresso, followed by hints of orange zest and nutmeg.
Palate: Bold and full-bodied, with flavours of sherry-soaked raisins, toffee, vanilla, and roasted nuts, balanced by a touch of red berries and warm spice.
Finish: Long and lingering, with dark chocolate, oak, and a gentle, warming spice, perfect for pairing with a cigar.
To complement the rich, sherried, and spicy profile of The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve, a medium-to-full-bodied cigar with deep, complex flavours is ideal.
