A favourite expression in the Dalmore stable, this 15-year-old is elegant and smooth, with lipsmacking texture and the flawless balance one would expect from blending maestro Richard Paterson.

Nose: Soft and very approachable, with dried fruit, hazelnuts and dry spiciness.

Palate: Rich, classic Christmas-cake notes of raisins, currants, cherries, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Finish: Sweet and raisiny, this rich-tasting dram lingers for a long time.
