Is matured for the initial nine years in American white oak ex-whiskey containers, before half is exchanged to ex-oloroso sherry barrels for the last three years. The combination is a whisky with a mix of sweetness and rich, sherried flavors. Launched in late 2008 to restore the past 12 year old, this single malt from the Dalmore refinery is a toasty, espresso rich measure with perfectly flavor notes and a thick mouth-feel that gives extremely rich taste.
