Frequently asked
What is Tawny Port?
Portuguese fortified wine from the Douro Valley, aged in oak (unlike Ruby Port which is bottled young). Tawny Port develops nutty, dried-fruit character. Port pipes (used casks) transfer this character to whisky during finishing.
How does port finish compare with sherry finish?
Port casks give red fruit, plum, and warming spice. Sherry casks give dried fruit, chocolate, and nuttier depth. Both add richness to whisky. Personal preference determines which suits your palate best.
Is this an entry-level Dalmore?
Similar tier to Dalmore 12YO but non-age-statement (NAS). Not necessarily younger — Dalmore selects specific casks for this expression regardless of age. NAS gives the distillery flexibility to release specific character-driven expressions.
