The Dalmore - Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky - King Alexander III

A superb edition! Dalmore King Alexander III Single Malt Whisky is the result of blending six different Dalmore maturations in the same bottle: Bourbon, Matusalem Oloroso Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Port and Cabernet Sauvignon. The result, dazzling in its richness and complexity, expresses the characteristics of each cask. A masterpiece from creator Richard Paterson! This is a smooth, elegant whisky, with a particularly malty, greedy, fruity nose, followed by a full, rich, powerfully fruity palate, where orange jam mingles with dried fruit; the finish is finely peppery, with a slight herbaceous astringency and delicate notes of gentian.

Elaboration:

From a marriage of six different ageings: bourbon, Matusalem oloroso sherry, Madeira, marsala, port and cabernet sauvignon.

Nose:

Particularly malty, gourmand and fruity aromas (candied citrus, grapefruit juice, vine peach) appear at first, followed by vinous and pastry notes (brioche, custard).

Palate:

Full-bodied and rich, this whisky is powerfully fruity, with a gentle, fine bitterness and malt, accompanied by red fruits (blackcurrant) and muscat grapes. The finish is biscuity, slightly salty and peppery, with a slight herbaceous astringency and delicate notes of gentian.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Glencairn whisky glass.

Food and wine pairing:

As an aperitif or digestif, dry, on the rocks or accompanied by still, neutral spring water at room temperature.
