The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Palate: Yet more toffee, caramel edging towards the burnt cinder-toffee side of things. Flamed orange-zest, and perfectly integrated sherry.

SM: Cheese is a big thing in my house at Christmas so I’ll be pulling out a bottle of the Port Wood Reserve after dinner! Delicious with a strong cheddar, creamy brie or salty Lanarkshire blue! I’ll also be making Christmas eggnog for the family with the Dalmore 12 Year Old, which works really well. Founded in 1839, overlooking the Cromarty Firth estuary in Alness, Dalmore is a renowned Highland distillery that produces some of the most collectable whiskies in the world. A series of ultra-premium bottlings have firmly cemented Dalmore as a prestigious name, with multiple releases breaking records at auction. Robust” is probably the correct word for me to use when describing how I found The Dalmore Cigar Malt. This was never intended to be the first and last word in single malts, and I feel it would be a mistake to view it in that light. This was a product which was engineered with a specific purpose. It is almost a niche whisky, although I hesitate to classify it firmly as such because I do not want to imply that this is an unapproachable dram for those who do not partake in cigars.

All told, it’s a bold and aggressive whisky, so come into it with open expectations that your senses will be a bit battered from start to finish. Ultimately I’m not sure to what degree the recipe for Cigar Malt Reserve has shifted over the years, but whatever’s been done to it, I’m a much greater fan than ever.Right. Christmas is almost here. Whatever the big day is going to look like for you this year, it’s time to pause, sit down, and take a moment just for yourself. Yourself and a really rather tasty dram. MoM: Lots of different cask maturations go on with Dalmore. What finishes work especially well with the spirit?

I received a sample of a recent bottling — along with chocolates from Vosges designed for pairing specifically with the dram. More on those later; let’s start with the whisky.

Sherry plays such an important role in our whiskies and I love pairing the Dalmore with Andalusian cuisine. A bottle of The Dalmore 15 alongside some Iberico, manzanilla olives and manchego Iniesta is a real crowd pleaser and a bit out of the ordinary! In terms of cigars, I’m really enjoying the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour just now. Medium to full-bodied, this cigar contains tobacco that has been aged for six months in single malt whisky casks, so it works really well The Dalmore Cigar Malt.

SM: Flavour and body for me! The Cigar Malt is profoundly influenced by Matusalem sherry and red wine barriques, so there’s an abundance of deep, rich flavours that work well with the right cigar. The red wine barriques also contain a lot of tannins that contribute to a silky, velvety texture that dances with the cigar smoke on your palate as you draw. When you get the pairing just right there are not many better things in life! Today’s dram from our Whisky Advent Calendar carries that same pedigree – and was specifically blended to be enjoyed with a cigar. It’s a no-age-statement dram, but don’t let that put you off. It’s rich, flavourful, and has that signature Dalmore doughy texture. It’s Cigar Malt!
