The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve is a meticulously crafted single malt Scotch whisky that stands as a testament to the art of maturation and wood influence. This expression from the renowned Highland distillery, The Dalmore, is initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, which impart a foundational complexity and smoothness to the spirit. Following this initial aging period, the whisky undergoes a secondary maturation in Tawny Port pipes sourced from esteemed wineries in Portugal.
This additional aging stage imbues the whisky with an intricate layering of flavors. On the nose, one can detect an inviting bouquet of sweet red fruits, notably raspberries and plums, which are harmoniously intertwined with hints of sticky toffee pudding and orange zest. The palate reveals a rich tapestry of tastes; ripe autumnal fruits come to the fore alongside notes of sweet caramel and creamy vanilla. A subtle spice underpins these flavors, adding depth without overpowering them.
The finish is where The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve truly distinguishes itself—a lingering warmth with traces of cinnamon and nutmeg that complement its fruit-laden profile. This luxurious finish ensures that each sip leaves an indelible impression on both palate and memory.
Producer Notes: The Dalmore Distillery
Nestled in the verdant Scottish Highlands, The Dalmore Distillery stands as a beacon of fine whisky craftsmanship. Originating from the shores of the Cromarty Firth, this distillery has been creating its signature spirits since 1839. The Dalmore is renowned for its rich, full-bodied single malt Scotch whiskies that carry a distinctive profile – often characterized by notes of chocolate, orange, and spices.
One cannot speak of The Dalmore without mentioning its iconic 12-Year-Old expression. This particular whisky is matured in two types of casks: American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and exclusive aged sherry casks from Spain. This dual maturation process imparts a complexity and depth to the spirit that is both rare and sought after by connoisseurs.
Beyond their classic 12-year staple, The Dalmore’s portfolio includes other illustrious offerings such as the King Alexander III, which undergoes an exceptional six-cask maturation process involving wine, Madeira, Sherry, Marsala, Kentucky bourbon and Port casks. Each contributes unique flavors that harmonize into a symphony on the palate.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
