Dalmore Cromartie Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with copper-gold sheen and mahogany depth

Nose

Opulent sherry-soaked aroma unfolds with fragrant orange zest, fig and raisin sweetness, and dark chocolate. Rich toffee, vanilla cling to velvety oak, while hints of almond and candied spice emerge. A whiff of maritime brine and leather adds refinement, building to a persistent, warm finish.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and richly sherried, the palate opens with dark chocolate and burnt orange zest, balanced by sun-dried fig and raisin. Spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—join vanilla and toasty oak, weaving a warm, velvety coat across the tongue with a lingering, honeyed sweetness.

Finish

Long, opulent finish that lingers with sherried sweetness and toasted oak. Dark chocolate, dried fig and orange peel unfold, intertwined with cinnamon and clove, fading to a warm toffee and a final whisper of leather.
