The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Scotch Whisky

Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is an indulgent, full-bodied Highland single malt built to complement a fine cigar—but equally stunning on its own. Velvety, bold, and richly spiced, it harmonizes sherry sweetness with Highland malt depth, delivering a sophisticated balance of fruit, oak, and indulgent chocolate tones.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced at The Dalmore Distillery in Alness, Scotland, Cigar Malt Reserve exemplifies the distillery’s signature style of opulence and precision. Matured in three distinct cask types—American white oak ex-bourbon, oloroso sherry butts, and premier cru Cabernet Sauvignon barriques—it achieves remarkable depth and harmony. The high proportion of aged malt matured in sherry casks gives this whisky its lush, raisin-rich body, while the red wine influence adds elegance and spice. Created under the guidance of Master Distiller Richard Paterson, it’s designed to pair beautifully with medium- to full-bodied cigars or to stand as a luxurious digestif.
