The Dalmore Gran Reserva (Cigar Malt)

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 90 Points

The Gran Reserva was formerly known as the Cigar Malt, and uses casks between 10 and 14 years of age. The nose is lighter and sweeter than other young Dalmores, with notes of orange marmalade, allspice, nutmeg, and almonds. The taste is sweet with soft spices, orange maramalade, and figs, while the finish is smooth with a lingering citrus note.
