The Worlds
Most Expensive Whisky The Dalmore 64 Trinitas Whisky Sold For Six Figure Sum
The first bottle of whisky in the world
to break the six figure price barrier
was revealed today by The Dalmore
distillery which has sold two bottles
for £100,000...each.
The 64 year old Trinitas, named because
there were three bottles produced, was
acquired by a luxury whisky lover in the
US and a renowned whisky investor in the
UK.
The third bottle of the record breaking
spirit will be sold at the Whisky Show
in London at the end of October. But
organisers are keeping the exact details
of the exclusive sale under wraps for
the moment.
Industry experts claim that if the
bottle was sold by the glass in
exclusive restaurants and clubs, it
could fetch up to £20,000 for a typical
50ml dram.
Trinitas is believed to contain some of
the rarest and oldest stocks of whisky
in the world, some of which have been
maturing in the distillery on the shores
of the Cromarty Firth for more than 140
years.
The Dalmore’s renowned master distiller
Richard Paterson used his unrivalled
expertise to fuse a range of these
exclusive malts together.
He claimed this was not about breaking
world records but about making the best
whisky money can buy.
"The hand of time has been generous and
rewarding with the malts I chose to use.
They allowed me to create a taste
sensation which will never be repeated
again and will only ever be available to
those that own these bottles. You cannot
put a price on that."
"People recognise
that you have to pay a premium for true
exclusivity, craftsmanship, quality and
heritage. Even in this day and age, when
times are tough, those that enjoy the
finer things in life want to reward
themselves with something very special.
And you won’t get more special than The Dalmore 64."
"The Dalmore 64 is the pinnacle of my
career, the best whisky I have ever
created. I have got to know, nurture and
work with the finest and rarest whisky
stocks in the world for 40 years now,
and with that intimacy comes an
intuitive ability to make great whisky
which is truly a labour of love. I am a
very lucky man indeed as are the buyers
of this whisky"

What The Buyers Said
US buyer Mahesh Patel was delighted to
be the first in the world to get his
hands on bottle number one. "Whisky is
my passion. I love it. I have over 1000
bottles in my collection, and The
Dalmore Trinitas is now the jewel in the
crown. It's a beautiful spirit from a
trusted luxury whisky brand."
He added: "The whole package is an
amazing testament to the work of the
team involved and you cannot fault the
quality of every element. But the real
prize for me is the whisky itself, and
that is what makes The Dalmore special."
Sukhinder
Singh, one of the world's leading whisky
specialists, says he bought bottle
number two because he knew it was a wise
investment.
The owner of UK based specialist
retailer the Whisky Exchange said: "It
is one of the most exclusive whiskies to
have ever been released, and most
importantly the whisky is of amazing
quality. I love the simple, top quality
packaging and I know it will appeal to
the growing league of whisky collectors
and enthusiasts."
"Most of the "first growth" malts have
proven to be good investments over the
last decade, and I have no doubt that
this will become one of the most sought
after bottles in the world."
He added: "We regularly get asked for
the Dalmore 62 of which there were only
12 available, but apart from the two we
sold originally, we have never been able
to find another."
Dalmore 64 Trinitas Tasting Notes
The initial bouquet is highly complex.
Powerful notes of sweet raisins, rich
Colombian coffee, crushed walnuts and
bitter orange casts its magical spell
over you. Another glorious fusion of
grapefruit, sandalwood, white musk and
Indonesian patchouli completes this
bouquet of exuberance.
The spirit must be nurtured and
cherished long in the mouth to tease out
every hidden flavour. Sweet sultanas,
figs, and a caramelised topping of
Seville oranges, apples, mangos and
dates roll over the tongue. This is
quickly followed by a wave of lingering
sensations of vino dulce muscatel,
marzipan, treacle toffee, soft liquorice
and roasted coffee. A soft caress of
truffles, walnuts and muscovado sugar on
your palate brings this unforgettable
fanfare to a flawless finish.
