The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Scotch Whisky

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 44% ABV (88 Proof) | 750 mL | Scotland

Process & Profile

The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve was created as a rich, full-flavored Highland single malt designed to stand up to the bold character of a fine cigar. Its signature comes from a layered cask program: it starts in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels for vanilla sweetness and structure, then is finessed in Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques for dark fruit depth, and finished in rare Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks for a deeper, dessert-leaning richness.

In the glass, it’s classic Dalmore—orange zest, toffee, chocolate, and warm spice—delivered with enough weight and texture to sip slowly, with or without a cigar.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Cinnamon, vanilla, and red fruits with a polished oak warmth

• Palate: Tropical fruit, banana toffee, vanilla cream, and rich sweet oak

• Finish: Orange zest, dark chocolate, and crushed spice with a long, warming fade

What Makes It Special

• Crafted specifically as a Scotch that pairs beautifully with a cigar

• Multi-cask maturation: ex-bourbon, Cabernet Sauvignon barriques, and Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks

• Bottled at 88 proof for a richer mouthfeel and longer finish

• A standout “dessert-and-citrus” single malt profile with Dalmore’s signature orange character

• Excellent gifting Scotch for customers who want something premium, smooth, and bold

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat to get the full orange-toffee-and-chocolate arc. A few drops of water can lift the red fruit and soften the spice. Over one large cube, it becomes rounder and more dessert-like, with vanilla and toffee moving forward. If pairing with a cigar, this one is best enjoyed slowly—short sips between draws.
