The Dalmore Luminary No. 1

The Dalmore Luminary No.1 15 Years Old. Image courtesy The Dalmore.

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46.8%

Score: 95 Points

This 15-year-old Dalmore is finished in a unique combination of Amazon red wine casks and “kintsugi” casks made from a mix of Scottish Tay Oak, Japanese Mizunara Oak, and American White Oak. The nose is fruity and vibrant with touches of citrus, honey, almonds, and ginger. The taste has notes of dark chocolate fudge, cherries, citrus, gingerbread, and figs. The finish is long with dried fruits, honey, subtle spices, a hint of cocoa powder, and toasted oak. Excellent! (November, 2022)
