The Dalmore is synonymous with opulence, and the 18 Year Old stands as one of its crown jewels. Matured under the watchful eye of Master Distiller Richard Paterson, this Highland single malt spends its life moving between American white oak and rare Matusalem oloroso sherry casks from González Byass, resulting in a whisky as layered and decadent as a fine dessert. It’s a dram made for moments that deserve reverence.
