The Dalmore Select Edition 2009 15-Year-Old is a compelling mix of Highland power and refined maturation. Rich and complex, it offers dark fruit, chocolate and polished oak — a serious expression built for sipping and special occasions rather than casual drinking.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Distilled in 2009 at the Dalmore Distillery in the Highlands of Scotland, this single malt was matured for 15 years. It begins life in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and is then finished in hand-selected Matusalem sherry casks and Graham’s 10-year-old tawny port pipes. It is bottled at 48.9 % ABV and carries the distillery’s hallmark of natural colour and non-chill filtration.
Critics Reviews
-
In a review, critic Christopher Null (of Drinkhacker) awarded it a score of 9.5/10, noting: “A rich chocolate and hazelnut character dominate the nose … the nuttiness is again clear and heavy on the palate, the finish finds coffee and more hazelnuts … the decadent richness lingers.”
-
According to a review in Whisky Advocate, the 2009 Select Edition received a score of 94 points, with reviewer Julia Higgins describing it as: “fragrant nose of stone fruit, clementine, rose-water and clove; palate with flourless chocolate cake, red berries, caramel and candied nuts; finish with wood-spice and lingering red fruit.”
These evaluations recognise the 2009 as a standout within Dalmore’s Limited Editions—valued especially for its bold cask finishes and pronounced fruit & nut character.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Hints of Manuka honey, dark plum, cracked black pepper and clove.
Palate: Morello cherry and dates lead into candied Seville orange, fresh figs and light cacao.
Finish: Rich plum richness transitions into moist ginger-cake, roast chestnut and soft wood spice.
