 The
Dalmore has launched a new 18 year old
expression for the first time in its
illustrious 170 year history.
Only 3000 bottles worldwide will be
available in this first release, they
are expected to sell for approximately
Ł85 per 70cl bottle.
The 18 year old version of the iconic
luxury brand comes in a regal and rich
deep blue carton, a colour chosen
because it’s the official royal colour
for King Alexander III whose life was
saved from a charging stag by the Clan
Mackenzie back in 1263.
The clan, long owners of The Dalmore
distillery North of Inverness, were
gifted the right to use the 12 pointer
stag - called a “royal” stag - which has
now become synonymous with the quality
and luxury associated with the The
Dalmore brand.
 To
this end, the hand crafted and iconic
metal stag’s head, normally reserved for
the more prestigious expressions in The
Dalmore range, is being introduced to
the 18 year old as standard.
Head of brand for The Dalmore, David
Robertson, said: “So many people love
the solid metal stag’s head that we
decided to make it more widely available
as it’s a true badge of quality, and
justifiably adorns this highly revered
and sought after single malt. The new 18
year old seemed the perfect place to
start this wider roll out offering
discerning consumers a stunning trophy
for their drinks collection.
“We have introduced this new release
based on consumer and trade demand - we
are confident that this will become a
significant and much sought after core
expression for many years to come. This
smooth, harmonious yet complex malt is
another shining example of our craft.”
The liquid was first matured in American
white oak, and then moved to Matusalem
sherry butts for its final years of
maturation to complete a maturation
journey that is truly sublime.
The bottles will be available from
select domestic outlets in Europe, Asia
and The USA with discerning travellers
likely to find it in the best Duty Free
hubs.
