The Dalmore King Alexander III showcases cask curation at its finest; it is the world’s first single malt to create an assemblage of six cask finishes. Initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the liquid is apportioned between small batch ex-bourbon casks, Matusalem oloroso sherry casks, Madeira barrels, Marsala casks, Port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. These are then brought together in an in-situ sherry butt.

With hints of chocolate and vanilla on the nose, a zesty and spicy palate and a peppery finish that surprises with a touch of claret, the character is distinctively Dalmore.
