Sherry Royalty Meets the Highlands
Pedro Ximénez casks are the darkest, sweetest wood in Scotch — and The Dalmore deploys them like no one else, layering PX richness over fourteen years of bourbon-oak maturity. The result took 94 points at the 2022 Ultimate Spirits Challenge: dark chocolate, fig, and orange oil over the house's signature Highland depth.

Palate: Rich and sherried — plum, raisin, cinnamon, roasted coffee.
