Dalmore Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 20 Year Old · 1978 Vintage

Colour

Rich, sun-kissed amber with copper-gold highlights and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent, sherry-kissed nose: orange marmalade and dried fig melding with raisin, dark chocolate and toffee. Vanilla pod, almond paste and toasted oak weave through, while cinnamon and clove spark a warm, spicy finish.

Palate

Silky and expressive on the palate, this 1978 Dalmore pours a syrupy sweetness balanced by oak and spice. Layers of dried fig and prune mingle with orange zest, toffee and cocoa, with nutty almond notes and vanilla drifting through. Cinnamon and clove spark a warming pepper, while sherry depth adds dark fruit richness. Long, velvety finish coats the tongue with orange, chocolate, and spice.

Finish

An opulent, long finish that coats the palate with warm spice and polished oak. Dried orange peel and dark chocolate unfurl first, then subtle clove and nutmeg mingle with lingering sherry sweetness. The final seconds bring a silky tannic grip and a lasting resinous, fudgy hint that invites another sip.
