The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve
The Dalmore4.7(80 reviews)
The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve is a majestic, full-bodied single malt matured to showcase an incredibly rich, fruit-forward profile. It begins its journey in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and is then finished in hand-selected Tawny Port pipes from the historic W & J Graham's vineyard in Portugal. This produces a deep amber liquid with rich aromas of sweet plums, damsons, and Seville orange, coupled with a smooth, warming finish.

“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gomti Nagar and picked up The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve. At ₹12,460 in Lucknow, this represents incredible value. The notes of Sweet Damson Plum and Rich Seville Orange pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Galouti Kebab. Highly recommended!”

“A highly sophisticated Single Malt Scotch Whisky by The Dalmore. Wonderfully smooth on the throat with subtle hints of Sweet Damson Plum and Warm Caramelized Pear. Serving this neat during a family gathering in Hazratganj was a major hit, especially alongside local Chicken Shami Kebab!”
