Launched in 2007, Dalmore 15 year old is initially matured 12 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being finished for a further three years in three different sherry casks: Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem oloroso. These are then blended and married in a sherry butt prior to bottling.
