Dalmore Special Cask Finish Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished mahogany depths and a warm copper glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry perfume envelops the glass: dark plum and fig compote, dried raisin and candied orange peel mingle with toasted almond and cocoa. Whispered vanilla, leather and polished oak deepen the aroma, while a delicate spice thread lingers—an elegant, age-softened bouquet born of sherry-cask mastery.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate reveals layers of fig, date and raisin from Matusalem Sherry, tempered by orange zest and dark chocolate. Caramel, toasted almond and a hint of espresso weave through refined oak, delivering a long, elegant finish with warm spice and whisper-soft tannins.

Finish

Opulent and long, this finish carries rich sherry depth—fig, date and raisin layered with dark chocolate and orange zest. Spiced with clove and cinnamon, the Spanish oak lends a polished, velvety grip that lingers, fading to a warm, nutty almond echo.
