The Dalmore 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

January 3, 2016
dalmore 30

dalmore 30The Dalmore 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch: A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a tasting session I attended with none other than Master Distiller, Richard Patterson from Whyte & Mackay. I did mention that on the night I had the pleasure of sampling some of their best expressions. Among them was the limited edition 21-year-old scotch and this other limited expression: The Dalmore 30. With the use of a mixture of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, Dalmore’s new make is perfect for sherry wood maturation. This leads to a rich and sherried nose, with sweet malt, fruit cake and oranges. As mentioned, The Dalmore 30 is a one-off limited release of only 888 bottles worldwide, with only 110 remaining in the UK. Matured Matusalem oloroso and Amoroso oloroso sherry butts, hand-sourced from the famous Gonzalez Byass bodega, this expression will be much sought after.

On the nose: is a beautiful, intense note of clementines, chocolate, marzipan and plums. There is an oily note, which is closely followed by notes of cherries, apples, cloves, raisins, and a welcomed salty caramel note. Notes of madeira cake start to emerge followed by light wafts of lavender, more dark rich fruit notes and a hint of tarragon. On the palate: you’ll experience notes of mangoes, vanilla and coffee, followed by a dark chocolate ganache. Notes of black pepper start to filter through, coupled with star anise, coconut and a lovely meaty note. The palate is nicely rounded off with a herbaceous note and sweet dates. The finish: is long, spicy, with a lingering honey note and oak.

The verdict: Remember how i said the 21-year-old expression I tasted was brilliant, well this 30yo is in my opinion better. Again, rich in flavour, with plenty of depth, with a lovely combination of flavours that just seem to tickle your senses. With a ABV of 45%, I personally didn’t need to add any water but if you feel the need, then add just enough until it’s right for you.

The Dalmore 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky can be found in-store or online at The Whisky Shop for approximately £1,500.

For more information on this 30 Year Old expression, visit the official Dalmore website.
