DalmoreLuceo Fortune Merita Collection
Summary
Dalmore Luceo from the Fortune Merita Collection is a single malt whisky that showcases the craftsmanship and heritage of the Dalmore distillery. This expression is matured in first-fill American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to hand-selected Apostoles sherry casks from the renowned Gonzalez Byass bodega. The result is a whisky that beautifully marries the rich, fruity notes of sherry with the smooth, creamy characteristics of bourbon cask maturation.
On the nose, this whisky offers a complex bouquet of aromas, including dried fruits, vanilla, and a hint of citrus. The palate is equally rich, with flavors of dark chocolate, ripe plums, and a touch of spice, creating a well-rounded and satisfying experience. The influence of the sherry casks is evident, adding depth and a luxurious sweetness to the overall profile.
The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of oak and a subtle hint of smoke. This whisky is perfect for those who appreciate a well-balanced and richly flavored single malt. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, it promises a memorable tasting experience that reflects the quality and tradition of Dalmore's whisky-making expertise.
