Presented in a deep purple case with The Dalmore's silver stag on the bottle, it is made for collectors and for celebrations that call for something exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dalmore is known for its mastery of cask finishing, and its 30 Year Old appears as a series of yearly releases, each with its own cask recipe. For the 2023 edition, the distillery turned to port: some of the most prized casks in its warehouse held Colheita port, single-harvest tawny port aged for many years in wood before bottling, including a pipe that once held Graham's 1982 single harvest port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whisky matured for 30 years principally in ex-bourbon casks, which lay down a foundation of vanilla, honey and soft oak. It was then finished in the Colheita port pipes, which add dark fruit, chocolate and a gentle nuttiness. It is bottled at 43.8% ABV, a little above the standard strength, giving the whisky extra weight and a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark chocolate, plums and blood orange, with dried fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mocha, plums and orange zest, with rich coffee notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with marzipan, liquorice and a hint of aniseed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dalmore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 Year Old, 2023 Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 87.6 proof (43.8% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon casks, finished in Colheita port pipes including a Graham's 1982 single harvest port pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highlands, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat in a tulip glass and let it rest a few minutes so the port-cask fruit can unfold.
