The Dalmore Old Fashioned

Not far from Inverness overlooking the famous ‘Black Isle’, sits The Dalmore distillery. At The Dalmore, the whisky house style is dark, rich and chocolatey with notes of dried fruit, spice, vanilla and tropical fruit thanks to the team’s long term relationship with sherry house González Byass who offer The Dalmore exclusive access to rare casks. These special casks have  previously held exceptional, old sherries such as Matusalem Oloroso sherry and it is these casks that add to the quintessential Dalmore style.

The Old Fashioned needs no introduction as a cocktail and the beauty of this classic drink really  is its simplicity! Think of fruit cake with shaving of dark chocolate and orange peel on top. One for those cosy nights by the fire, for sure.

50ml The Dalmore 12 Year Old Whisky
25ml Sugar syrup
Dash Orange bitters
Glass: Rocks glass
Garnish: Fresh orange twist

Method
Find a rocks glass or a tumbler, add ice and then pour all the ingredients in. Stir well until chilled and slightly diluted. Garnish with an orange wheel.
