About Dalmore Cigar Malt
The Dalmore is a celebrated Highland distillery on the shores of the Cromarty Firth in the north of Scotland, long known for opulent, sherry-influenced single malts and its iconic stag emblem. The Cigar Malt Reserve is built, as the name suggests, to stand alongside a fine cigar, with a generous, full-bodied profile. It is matured in a combination of American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks, and Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks, the layered cask program that gives Dalmore its signature richness. This is a special-occasion dram, the kind of bottle to linger over after a great meal in our Kirkland lounge.
Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, dried-fruit richness from the sherry-cask influence, with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, toffee, and warm spice, lifted by a touch of orange zest on the finish. It is full-bodied and luxurious, the kind of Scotch that unfolds slowly and rewards an unhurried evening.
What to Pair It With
A dram this rich is best enjoyed neat, slowly, after dinner in our 21+ lounge at the quartzite bar. From the Sparrow dinner menu, it is a natural after a meal of American Wagyu steaks or the Sparrow-Smoked Rack, and it makes a fine companion to coffee or dessert.
