The Dalmore Sherry Cask Select 12 Years SM 750ml

The amber color foreshadows a classic sherry profile, and the nose confirms it: It’s rich in dark cherries, black tea, raisins, and a faint note of oak. With a few drops of water and some time in a covered Glencairn, matters turn holiday-levels of festive with figs, orange, and chocolate arriving. The palate keeps things moving in an orderly and predictable fashion with a chocolate and cinnamon blend that dominates and remains to linger through a rather lengthy and dry finish.
