Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book
The Cigar Malt Reserve has been created by Dalmore's Master Blender Richard Paterson and has been matured in a combination of three different casks to create a rich flavour profile - these are ex-Oloroso sherry, ex-American oak bourbon and ex-Cabernet Sauvignon red wine casks. Although no age is stated on the label, all of the whiskies included are rumoured to be between 12 and 14 years of age.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Opulent sherry warmth unfurls from the glass, a cascade of orange zest, burnt sugar and cocoa, tempered by velvety vanilla and toffee. Aromas of cigar box, dark tobacco, leather and cedar mingle with ripe dried fruit and subtle spice, all wrapped in a refined oak resonance from bourbon and wine casks.
Palate
Silky, opulent and layered, this palate weaves dark fig and raisin from Oloroso with vanilla-sweet Bourbon notes. Cabernet-driven red-fruit lift—cherry, cassis—adds elegance, while cocoa, spice and leather build a velvety, full-bodied texture. A long, warming finish with refined tannin and a touch of sweet, nutty oak.
