The Dalmore
extends its core range with the addition
of The Dalmore 25 Year Old.
 The
Dalmore distillery has announced a new
addition to its core range of whisky
with the launch of The Dalmore 25 Year
Old.
The Dalmore 25 year old
will join the 12, 15, 18, Cigar Malt
Reserve and King Alexander III as a
permanent addition to the collection.
Crafted by Master Distiller Richard
Paterson, I am told that The Dalmore 25
combines festive aromas of exotic
fruits, marzipan, vanilla pods and fig
cake.
As with all of The Dalmore’s whiskies, much of The
Dalmore 25’s unique character and
quality comes from the wood selected to
mature the whisky.
This 25 year old has been matured initially
in American white oak casks before being
divided into hand-sourced 25 year old
sweet Palomino Fino sherry butts and
1980 first-fill bourbon casks. These
exceptional whiskies are then expertly
married together in bourbon barrels
before finally being transferred into
Tawny Port pipes from Portugal, giving
additional layers of complexity and
richness.
Only 3,000 bottles of The Dalmore 25
year old single malt will be produced
annually with an RRP of £600. Bottled at
42% ABV it will be available from
specially selected whisky retailers
worldwide from 25 October and available
in North America from early 2014.
Dalmore Master Distiller Richard
Paterson said, "The Dalmore 25 is
matured in casks that have previously
housed a very special grape which
creates a sweeter style of sherry. As a
result, the cask has gifted a wonderful
a palate of orange peel, chocolate
truffles and spiced gingerbread.
"The Dalmore 25 is a truly spectacular
addition to The Dalmore Principal
Collection, and a must have for fans of
the distillery."
A recent winner of a Gold medal at the
2013 International Spirits Challenge (ISC)
awards The Dalmore 25 will be
officially unveiled at this year’s TFWA
World Exhibition in Cannes.
