Tasting Notes

Appearance: Rich, deep amber, a reflection of the whisky's long and luxurious maturation.
Nose: The aroma is a fragrant symphony, opening with notes of golden honey and vanilla that gently intertwine with the warmth of ginger. Layers of complexity emerge, featuring bright orange marmalade, and a subtle wisp of smoke adds depth to the olfactory experience.
Palate: The palate is a journey of sophistication, showcasing a relatively full-bodied character. Tangy orange zest dances on the taste buds, accompanied by the sweet allure of marzipan and the rich influence of sherry. Bitter chocolate notes provide a delightful contrast, followed by the gradual embrace of oak that imparts a refined structure to the whisky.
Finish: The finish is a lingering masterpiece, unveiling layers of licorice and a burst of citrus fruit. The warmth persists, leaving a lasting impression that invites contemplation long after the final sip.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a Highland single malt for the drinker who wants sherry richness without losing structure. The Dalmore Distillery matures it for 18 years in a marriage of American oak and oloroso sherry casks, and you can taste both sides of that pairing: golden honey and vanilla on the nose, warmed by ginger and bright orange marmalade, with a faint wisp of smoke underneath. The palate is relatively full-bodied, with tangy orange zest, marzipan and sherry depth, cut by bitter chocolate before the oak settles in. Licorice and citrus carry the long finish. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is approachable enough to be someone's first older single malt, yet layered enough to reward a collector's slow, attentive pour. It earns its place on our shelf because its orange-and-chocolate character stands apart from lighter, grassier malts, and because it makes a natural centerpiece for a celebration or a quiet evening dram. Pour it neat, give it a few minutes, and let it open.

Pairs well with

Dark chocolate truffles — The whisky's own bitter chocolate notes and tangy orange zest echo and brighten the richness of dark chocolate.
Rich chocolate tart — The interplay of sweet marzipan, citrus and bitter chocolate on the palate complements a dense, decadent tart.
A milestone celebration toast — Its long, warming finish of licorice and citrus fruit makes it a dram worth lingering over at a special occasion.

Questions about this bottle

What casks is The Dalmore 18 Year Old matured in?

It spends 18 years maturing in a marriage of American oak and oloroso sherry casks. The American oak contributes honey and vanilla, while the oloroso sherry influence shows up as richness on the palate alongside orange, marzipan and chocolate notes.

What does it taste like?

The nose opens with golden honey, vanilla and ginger, then orange marmalade and a subtle wisp of smoke. The palate is relatively full-bodied, with tangy orange zest, marzipan, sherry richness and bitter chocolate before the oak arrives. The finish is long, with licorice and citrus fruit.

Should I drink it neat, with water or on ice?

Neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass is the recommended starting point, letting it breathe for a few moments first. A splash of water can reveal hidden nuances, and if you prefer a slightly chilled dram, a single large ice cube mellows the intensity while keeping its complexity.

Is this a good bottle to give as a gift?

It suits gifting well. It is an 18 Year Old Highland single malt in a 750 ml bottle at 43% ABV (86 proof), with a rich, approachable profile of honey, orange and chocolate that works for both a newer Scotch drinker and an experienced one.
