Dalmore Releases £10,000 Malt Whisky
 A
rare 1951 vintage single malt whisky
with a RSP of £10,000 per bottle has
been released today.
Only 12 decanters of the Sirius
expression from premium whisky brand The
Dalmore will be produced. Sirius will
only be available to private buyers and
through a limited network of World Duty
Free stores.
“The international market for high-end
luxury products which have an investment
value is buoyant - and the finest
whiskies are playing an increasingly
dominant role in this sector,” says The
Dalmore’s Brand Director, David
Robertson.
“Our partnership with World Duty Free
allows us to reach an elite group of
investors and whisky aficionados across
the globe. We will be focusing on key
target markets in Taiwan, USA and
France.”
Sirius will be launched in the flagship
World Duty Free store at Heathrow
Terminal 5. Nigel Sandals, Category
Buying Manager for Liquor at World Duty
Free, adds: “Our customer base contains
some of the most knowledgeable investors
in spirits in the world.
“Being able to offer the absolute
best-quality luxury goods is a very
strong incentive for buyers to use
travel retail and World Duty Free - as
they would a specialist retailer - to
get exceptional value and to see a real
return on their investment.”
The Dalmore’s 1951 Sirius Vintage is a
single-cask, single malt whisky, with a
cask strength of 45%.
The Dalmore Master Distiller, Richard
Paterson, says: “Distinguished and
elegant, age has gracefully finessed
this brilliant expression. Sirius is,
quite simply, one of the world’s most
perfect whiskies.”

Dalmore Sirius Tasting Notes
|
“Distinguished and elegant, age has
gracefully finessed this brilliant
expression. Aromas of intense citrus and
honeyed chocolate are quickly joined by
roasted coffee, crushed walnuts and
hints of liquorice spice.
“Let the spirit gently roll over the
palate, holding it long in the mouth to
tease out its illuminating flavours.
First coffee and bitter chocolate,
followed by crushed almonds and ripe
apple, then toffee, spicy cinnamon and
toasted oak provide the perfect finish.”
Richard Paterson Master Distiller
