An expression that truly lives up to its name, Valour expertly marries together the distinct and bold characteristics of three exceptional casks. Matured initially in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the spirit is then transferred to 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry wood casks from Gonzalez Byass, before being finessed in Port pipes from the Douro region in Portugal for a unique finish. Valour was named to honour the brave actions of Colin of Kintail , Chief of the Clan Mackenzie, when he saved the life of King Alexander III of Scotland. It is a hard to find bottle only available at select locations.
Aroma - Citrus fruits, marzipan and dates Palate - Pineapple, chocolate fudge, ripe plums Finish - Black forest fruits, coconut and figs
"The Dalmore distillery is owned and operated by Whyte & Mackay, which is owned by Philippines based Emperador Inc and is located in Alness, Scotland, which is 20 miles north of Inverness
Dalmore distillery uses the Loch Lomond stills, which is one of the significant features. These stills have three water cooled plates in the neck of the still and allow the distiller to better control the level of reflux during the distillation"
This is an excellent dram. Strong on the nose and a bit heavy on initial taste, but the aftertaste has some excellent fruity notes and is super smooth. Colour is a deep amber which is nice and looks good in the glass.
