Dalmore Select Edition is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky, here presented as an 18-year-old vintage release bottled at 46.7% ABV. For a novice drinker, that generally suggests a fuller, more mature style than younger whiskies, with more developed oak influence and layered fruit character.
As an older single malt, it is likely to show a rounded, structured profile rather than a bright or smoky one. The higher bottling strength may also give it a little more weight and intensity in the glass, while still sitting within a classic sipping style.
