Awards/Reviews:

Gold - Intl Spirits Challenge 2022

93 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2024

"Rich dried fruit, sweet raisins and wood spice make for an enticing example, met also with notes of dark fruit, cask spice, and chocolate. Captivating, with a beautifully rounded finish and a kick of spice."

96 Points, Top 100 Spirits - Wine Enthusiast

"Aged in a series of barrels—first American oak, then transferred to a former oloroso Sherry cask and finished in used Cabernet Sauvignon barriques—this Scotch would be an outstanding dessert accompaniment too. Look for dusty cocoa and lots of Sherried dark fruit, like figs and dates, wrapped in caramel and baking tones that linger on the spicy finish."

91 Points - Whisky Advocate

"Sherry, vanilla, caramel, ripe cherries, and sultanas on the nose. The palate yields characteristic Dalmore orange, plus brittle toffee, bitter chocolate, and cherry liqueur. Spicy licorice and soft oak in the finish.
