Matured 16 years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, then finished across four more cask types, it's bottled natural in colour, non-chill filtered, at 46% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFive Casks, Built for the Ritual of a Cigar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 16 years in ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky is finished in a combination of Matusalem Sherry casks, French oak Marsala casks, French oak Cabernet Franc barriques, and French oak Cabernet Sauvignon barriques. The bourbon barrels lay down sweetness, the Matusalem Sherry contributes dried fruit and nuttiness as the whisky's base character, the Marsala casks bring warm ginger and spice, and the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon barriques add tannin and dark fruit structure. At 46% ABV, The Dalmore says this strength helps refresh the palate between draws of a cigar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJoining a Range Built for Cigar Pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cigar Malt range began more than two decades ago as the first Scotch whisky explicitly designed to complement premium cigars rather than simply accompany them. Cigar Malt Signature Reserve Aged 18 Years sits above the long-running Cigar Malt Reserve in The Dalmore's Principal Collection, built specifically for pairing with smooth to medium-bodied cigars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e chocolate orange, dried fig, and dark fruit, balanced with hints of aromatic oud and sandalwood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e rich and complex, gradually revealing layers with every sip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e long, with tannin structure and dark fruit from the Cabernet barriques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour it neat alongside a smooth to medium-bodied cigar, taking slow sips between draws to let the whisky refresh the palate and reveal its layered cask influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dalmore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland single malt Scotch whisky, 5-cask maturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the ABV of this release?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is bottled at 46% ABV, natural in colour and non-chill filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from the standard Cigar Malt Reserve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Cigar Malt Reserve carries no age statement and is bottled at 44% ABV using three cask types.
