Frequently asked
What's the difference vs standard 12YO?
Standard 12YO uses ex-Bourbon for the first 9 years, then Matusalem Oloroso Sherry finish. Sherry Cask Select uses a more intensive triple-sherry finish (Amoroso + Apostoles + PX) — richer, deeper, more sherry-forward. Different expression of the same base whisky.
What are Amoroso and Apostoles sherry casks?
Amoroso is a sweeter style of Oloroso sherry. Apostoles is a Palo Cortado (rare intermediate style between Amontillado and Oloroso, aged 30+ years). Both are premium González Byass sherry cask sources — the same partnership that supplies Dalmore's core Matusalem sherry casks.
Is this a good gift?
Excellent for sherry-cask whisky lovers. Dalmore's premium sherry cask sourcing is genuinely differentiated in the Scotch market — this expression showcases that specifically.
