Aromatic orange zest is presented on the nose in addition to winter baking spices. The sweet notes continue with vanilla cream, cinnamon, and dried fruits. The finish is long, but mercifully doesn't end up cloying.

Product Description
In 1263 the ancestor of Clan MacKenzie saved King Alexander III from being gored by a stag with a single arrow. The grateful King granted him the right to bear a stag's head in his coat of arms, with the motto 'Help the King' (Cuidich 'n Righ, in the Gaelic language). The Dalmore Distillery was long owned by the MacKenzie family, and every bottle of The Dalmore adorned with the noble emblem: a stag's head, with twelve points to its antlers, signifying a 'royal.' A reminder of our heroic past and an inspiration for all who taste our Single Highland Malt. Tasting Notes The rich malty flavours tantalise the tongue -- classic, complex sweeit flavours which linger long in the mouth. Marmalade and Christmas cake with subtle hints of roasted coffee and chocolate, however it ia the taste of ripe oranges and lemon peel that offers the elegant zesty top notes. To fully appreciate these outstanding flavours, time must be allowed in the mouth -- a harmonious Single Highland Malt. Matured and married in 60% sherry wood and 40% American white oak. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote
Sweet, but with a steady dose of dried spice, oak resin, and teasing tobacco to back it up. … Sort of like The Dalmore 12 year old pumped up on steroids.
