Description

The distillery originates back to 1839 and was founded by entrepreneur Alexander Matheson. He eventually old the distillery to Andrew and Charles Mackenzie after they came forward looking to purchase. They introduced the iconic 12-pointed Royal Stag emblem, the caberfeidh which has adorned every bottle of The Dalmore.

 
Dalmore is now one of the most prestige single malts in the market and is owned by Whyte & Mackay. At the time, Whyte & Mackay predominantly dealt in blended whiskies and made a move to purchase the already successful Dalmore from the Mackenzie family in 1960.

 
At the time of purchase W&M required large bulk volumes to meet the market demand for their blends. This in turn meant Dalmore never really released an older expression that a 12 year old. 


How things have changed…
Dalmore now stands on its own and is most certainly considered one of the most luxury brands in the single malt whisky market with global recognition. This 2017 release of the 40 year old expression was initially aged for around 30 years in bourbon casks, then severn years in Oloroso Sherry and finally in first-fill bourbon barrels.

Dalmore is working with architect Kengo Kuma and protégé Maurizio Mucciola to create this single malt. This single malt has spent a total of 15 years ageing in both Italian Amarone red wine casks, virgin "Kintsugi" casks from the Tay and finally Japanese and American white oak before. 

Only 15,000 bottles have been released.
