Dalmore 15 is a Highland single malt built on sherry. It rests 12 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, then splits into Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem oloroso sherry butts for three more years before marrying in a sherry butt. The result is a rich, round dram of orange marmalade, cinnamon, mandarin and dark chocolate. It suits drinkers who like a sweet, sherried style; against sherry-forward rivals like GlenDronach 15 or Macallan 15 it leans softer and more orange-driven than heavily oaked.

Dalmore 15 Year is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky from the Dalmore distillery, which is known for its stag emblem and its sherry casks. It is aged for 15 years.
The whisky spends 12 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. It is then split among Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem oloroso sherry woods for three more years. Finally, it is married together in a sherry butt.
The whisky is smooth, rich and round. The nose has orange marmalade, cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate has mandarin, vanilla, ginger and crushed apples. The finish is caramelized orange and dark chocolate, and it lingers. It can be poured neat or with a drop of water.
