The Dalmore CIGAR MALT Reserve Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 44% vol., 1 litre, in a gift box

The Dalmore CIGAR MALT Reserve is an expressive Highland single malt Scotch whisky, at 44 per cent ABV, presented in a generous 1-litre bottle complete with a gift box. The Dalmore Distillery in the Scottish Highlands is particularly renowned for its meticulous use of different cask types. The Cigar Malt Reserve combines whiskies from three different types of cask: ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak, Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks, and barriques that previously contained Cabernet Sauvignon. This multi-layered cask selection lends the bottling its robust and complex character and makes it stand out distinctly within the Dalmore range.


As the name suggests, the Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve was specifically designed as a single malt whisky to be enjoyed with a cigar. In particular, the long-matured Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks play a central role here, blending with the vanilla and woody notes of American oak and the fruity influence of the Cabernet Sauvignon casks. The result is a full-bodied Highland whisky with enough intensity to hold its own even when enjoyed alongside an aromatic cigar. The combination of triple-cask maturation, a higher alcohol by volume of 44 per cent and the generous 1-litre bottle size makes this bottling a particularly interesting choice for lovers of full-bodied, cask-driven single malts.

Tasting Note

Colour: Dark amber with warm coppery highlights.

Nose: Toasted oak, bourbon vanilla, red berries and cinnamon with ripe, sweet and spicy notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and complex, with caramelised banana, vanilla cream, pineapple and coconut, accompanied by a subtle salty note and increasingly pronounced toasted oak.

Finish: Long-lasting, robust and spicy with orange zest, vanilla and subtle oak notes.

The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is primarily designed to be enjoyed neat at room temperature alongside a medium-bodied to full-bodied cigar, with cigars featuring notes of wood, leather, cocoa or spices being particularly well-suited. Culinary pairings include grilled beef, game or strong, mature hard cheeses. To round off a meal, dark chocolate, chocolate desserts, caramelised nuts or desserts featuring orange and vanilla harmonise very well with its intense cask character.
