Tasting Notes:

Nose: Rich and enveloping. Notes of dark cherry, fig, and raisin unfold alongside bitter chocolate, treacle, and polished oak. Hints of orange oil, leather, and warming spice add depth and sophistication.

Palate: Full-bodied and luxuriously textured. Layers of sherry-soaked dried fruits, espresso, dark cocoa, and molasses emerge with clove, nutmeg, and seasoned oak. The Matusalem Oloroso influence is bold yet beautifully balanced, lending richness without excess.

Finish: Exceptionally long and resonant. Lingering dark fruit, spiced oak, and bittersweet chocolate fade slowly into a warm, dry, and elegant afterglow.

The Dalmore 30 Years Old – Matusalem Oloroso Finish is a masterclass in long-aged sherry maturation—an opulent and deeply expressive whisky crafted for those who appreciate grandeur, depth, and the enduring beauty of time.
