{"product_id":"the-dalmore-cigar-malt-reserve-scotch-whisky-700ml","title":"The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Scotch Whisky 700ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is a single malt Scotch whisky made by The Dalmore in the Scottish Highlands. This listing is for the 700ml bottle. Cigar Malt Reserve is the expression's name and should be kept in full when comparing it with other bottles in the Dalmore range. Explore our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch-whisky\"\u003eScotch whisky\u003c\/a\u003e for more options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this bottle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dalmore describes a maturation programme using American white oak bourbon casks, Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. The producer lists the expression at 44% ABV. Those three cask types are the central production details used in this description.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences to 30-year-old Matusalem in the cask description concern the sherry associated with those casks. They are not an age statement for this whisky. No numerical whisky age is promised here, and the bottle should not be confused with another Dalmore release carrying its own stated age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dalmore's note describes cinnamon, vanilla and red fruit on the nose, followed by tropical fruit, banana, toffee and vanilla impressions on the palate. Orange zest, dark chocolate and spice appear in its finish. These are producer tasting descriptors, intended to describe the whisky rather than list added ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to serve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur suggestion is to explore a modest measure neat in a tulip-shaped glass, with a few drops of still water available if you prefer them. You can enjoy the whisky on its own; the expression's name does not require a tobacco accompaniment. Try it after a meal or alongside a small piece of dark chocolate if that suits your taste. For a comparison with Dalmore 15, keep the measures modest and use the same glassware and serving conditions. Record the full names with your notes, then choose according to the cask style and flavours you enjoy rather than reading an age into the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor another bottle to consider, see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-dalmore-15-year-old-single-malt-scotch-whisky-700ml\"\u003eDalmore 15 Year Old Highland Single Malt 700ml\u003c\/a\u003e.
