Dalmore Cigar Malt Whisky 70cl

This one’s for nights that call for a little drama in the glass. Dalmore Cigar Malt is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky built around rich, dark flavour, the kind that holds its own when you’re lingering after dinner and you want every sip to keep up.

The vibe here is layered and full-bodied, with Dalmore’s signature citrus-and-chocolate energy dialled up into something deeper and more roasted. It’s the whisky you pour when you’re done with “nice” and you’re craving bold, savoury-sweet complexity that keeps unfolding.

• Nose: Orange peel, cocoa, toasted nuts, and dried fruit, with oak and a faint coffee note.
• Taste: Toffee and dark chocolate upfront, then spiced orange, roasted almonds, and a touch of espresso-like bitterness that adds grip.
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering citrus oil, cocoa powder, and oak spice that keeps echoing.

Why it works so well is the balance, you get sweetness, spice, and that roasted edge all in one pour, so it doesn’t flatten out after the first sip. It’s a Scotch whisky that feels deliberate, not flashy, with enough depth to stay interesting even when you’re taking your time.

If you’re building a home bar and want one “grown-up” bottle that delivers instant richness, this is a strong move. It also makes a seriously solid gift for a whisky person who’s already tried the usual suspects and wants a Highland single malt with a darker, more after-dinner profile.

Dalmore fans come back for that house style, bright citrus wrapped in chocolate-and-oak richness, and Cigar Malt leans right into it. It’s confident, comforting, and complex without asking you to write tasting notes like homework.

Fun Fact: Dalmore’s distillery has ties to the Mackenzie clan, and the brand’s iconic 12-point stag emblem is inspired by a legendary royal hunting story.
