The Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

The Mackenzie family would operate the distillery until 1960 when it was merged with White and Mackay. It lacks a bit of oomph overall but makes up for it with a rather rich array of aromas and flavours. They might not have been making Whisky all that time, but the drams they turn out today are certainly legendary. My father frequently took the bills of parties residing in his neighbourhood for their accounts due to the distillery, and applied their proceeds to the purposes of the farm at Parks. His unparalleled expertise and intimate knowledge of rare and precious casks held in The Dalmore cellars have produced truly iconic whiskies of untold complexity and class.

The line was written by Donald Sutherland, the farmer and distiller who leased the property from founder Alexander Matheson. NID cookie, set by Google, is used for advertising purposes; to limit the number of times the user sees an ad, to mute unwanted ads, and to measure the effectiveness of ads.

He seems to carry this company on his shoulders with his old school charm which is starting to verge on becoming a bit dated. Matusalem is a type of Oloroso sherry that is sweetened by the addition of a little Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry, which is produced from partially raisinated grapes and is intensely sweet and syrupy. Effectively, they give the distiller the ability to mimic the effect of shorter or longer necks on the resulting distillate—the taller the neck, the higher the reflux, the portion of the vapor that condenses in the neck and falls back into the pot still for re-distillation.

Upon nosing, delightful aromas of citrus fruit dance alongside the allure of chocolate, complemented by fragrant hints of aromatic spices. Her brother, Charles, had made an equally woeful attempt at running the distillery, failing to balance the books for more than four years. Serve a double measure in your favourite tumbler, add a splash of water and sip gently and let the aromas and flavours wow your senses.This is followed by honey baked rum-infused raisins and tropical spice aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, all spice and a hint of cloves as well as lighter floral aromas. When Donald passed away, his wife Margaret decided to keep the distillery in her possession, delegating its management to her brother Charles.
