James Eadie·Distilleries of Great Britain & IrelandDalmore

James Eadie Dalmore 10-year-old is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky bottled from a single cask at natural cask strength. This release was distilled in 2016, aged for 10 years, and drawn from a bourbon cask, a style of maturation often associated with clear oak influence and vanilla-led sweetness.

For a novice drinker, expect a more direct and individual whisky than a standard distillery bottling. Single cask releases can show a distinctive snapshot of the spirit, while the 52.7% ABV is likely to give a fuller texture and more intensity in the glass.
