Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve – 70cl (44% ABV)

A Whisky Crafted for the Connoisseur

A welcome return of a much-revered single malt, the Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is a whisky designed for those who appreciate both exceptional whisky and premium cigars. This Highland single malt is a masterpiece of balance and complexity, meticulously crafted to enhance the rich, layered flavours of a fine cigar, while remaining an outstanding dram in its own right.

Dalmore’s whisky makers have expertly matured this expression in a carefully curated selection of three cask types:

• American white oak ex-Bourbon casks – providing a foundation of creamy vanilla, honey, and toasted oak.
• Cabernet Sauvignon barriques – introducing deep notes of dark berries, spice, and a velvety mouthfeel.
• Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks – adding layers of dried fruits, chocolate, and rich nutty undertones.

This unique maturation process results in a whisky of exceptional depth and harmony, with a bold yet refined character.

On the nose, Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve greets you with aromas of ripe figs, dark chocolate, and orange zest, intertwined with hints of spiced oak and espresso. The palate is full-bodied and indulgent, offering rich flavours of treacle, cinnamon, roasted nuts, and dried red fruits, complemented by a long, warming finish with notes of cocoa, tobacco leaf, and sherried spice.

Bottled at a higher strength of 44% ABV, this whisky is the ultimate pairing for a premium Cuban cigar, especially the Partagás Series P No.2, enhancing its earthy, spicy profile with its own rich, complex notes. Whether enjoyed alongside a cigar or savored on its own, Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is an elegant, sophisticated dram, perfect for those who seek a truly luxurious whisky experience.
