A real kaleidoscope of a single malt, changing with every sip. The lightly smoky nose includes tinges of espresso and red fruit. The velvety palate opens with teasing toffee and mocha sweetness, then fades gently into lighter, drier shades: chamomile tea, cigar wrapper, soft citrus. It's a journey. — Kara Newman TOP 100 OF 2025
Product Description:
The Dalmore King Alexander III showcases Dalmore’s commitment to the art of cask curation; it is the world's first single malt to create an assemblage of six cask finishes. Initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, the liquid is apportioned between small batch ex-Bourbon casks, Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks, Madeira barrels, Marsala casks, Port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. These are then brought together in an in-situ Sherry butt to harmonise.
