Origin and Heritage
Born in Scotland’s Highland region, Dalmore 18 is crafted at the Dalmore Distillery in Alness, established in 1839 by Alexander Matheson. The distillery’s storied Mackenzie clan legacy, tracing back to 1263 when Colin of Kintail saved King Alexander III from a stag, is celebrated through the iconic 12-point stag emblem on every bottle. Acquired by the Mackenzies in 1867, Dalmore pioneered multi-cask maturation, setting industry standards. Dalmore 18 is initially matured for 14 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, then transferred to 30-year-old Matusalem oloroso sherry casks from González Byass for four years, creating its signature depth. Its excellence earned an 89/100 from Wine-Searcher critics, making it a pinnacle choice for Nairobi’s whisky elite.
Taste Profile
Dalmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (43% ABV) delivers a robust, complex profile, lauded for its velvety texture and bold character. The nose entices with deep aromas of dark chocolate, Seville orange, vanilla, and roasted coffee, with traces of nutmeg and blackberry. On the palate, it unfolds with a luxurious creaminess, offering flavors of bitter chocolate, candied citrus, rich toffee, and stewed fruits, balanced by warm cinnamon and oaky spice. The finish is long, opulent, and slightly dry, with lingering notes of sherry, liquorice, and espresso. Best savored neat or with a drop of water in a tulip glass, this whisky’s grandeur captivates Nairobi’s collectors and hosts seeking an unforgettable pour.
Ideal Pairings and Best Use Occasions
Dalmore 18’s sherry-rich profile pairs exquisitely with Nairobi’s finest cuisine. Enhance its bold notes with grilled nyama choma, smoked salmon, or aged stilton for a sophisticated tasting. For dessert, pair with chocolate ganache or fig tart to amplify its richness. It shines as a neat pour or in a refined Boulevardier cocktail, perfect for Nairobi’s upscale events—think corporate galas, milestone anniversaries, or festive season soirées. Serve at 15–18°C to unlock its aromas. For more single malts, explore our curated Whisky category (#) (internal link).
