Port wood reserve

The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve celebrates the distillery's long-standing partnership with Graham's Port Lodge in Portugal, one of the world's premier port producers. This Highland single malt matured in ex-Tawny port pipes—unusually large casks that impart considerable depth and character to the spirit.

The nose reveals dried red fruits: cranberries, plums, and strawberries, with touches of cherry syrup and aniseed. On the palate, a pleasant tension emerges between sweeter elements—nectarines, creamy caramel, roasted chestnuts—and the structure of oak, spice, and tobacco. The finish is sustained: vanilla and oak linger, with a spiced edge that underscores the port influence without overwhelming the malt's natural character.

This is a whisky that marries the refinement of port with Highland robustness, neither dominating the other. For those seeking sophistication and genuine flavour complexity.
