The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve begins its journey in the finest ex-Bourbon barrels of American white oak. The matured whisky is then split equally with half remaining in the American white oak and the remainder transferred to Tawny port pipes from W&J Graham for further ageing. After a finish of 12-18 months, the contents of all casks are married to harmonise the flavours before being bottled with an unusually high alcohol content of 46.5% abv.
