Whyte & Mackay has unveiled an exclusive Dalmore single malt whisky release for the Lunar New Year  which will be available in travel retail,  The Dalmore King Alexander III Lunar New Year 2023 Edition

The special release will be enchanting shoppers in travel retail, interestingly they revealed to me that Scotch Single Malts are the engine of global spirits category growth, and The Dalmore is the only rare luxury malt brand with 70% of its expressions commanding a Prestige Plus price (above $200).

The Dalmore is the #1 brand of choice for luxury gifting, a shopper mission proven to be driving incremental category growth and global premiumisation (Source: *Kantar Oct 2022 & Numerator April 2022).

The King Alexander III Lunar New Year 2023 Limited Edition is currently available for travelling shoppers with leading retailers - including Lotte Duty Free, DFS, China Duty Free Group, Dufry and Dubai Duty Free - while stocks last and is designed to quench the modern luxury shoppers’ thirst for exceptional products with authentic stories and the perfect gift, whether as a self-treat or for someone else.

Created specifically to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday, the King Alexander III Lunar New Year 2023 Limited Edition adds to The Dalmore’s Prestige offer which has fuelled the malt category growth by recruiting and trading up modern luxury shoppers. Presented in a special gift box decorated in ornate red and gold, the packaging carries a representation of the lanterns which form a key part of the holiday celebration.

Clarisse Daniels, Head of Marketing Travel Retail & emerging markets, Whyte & Mackay said: "This stunning special pack is guaranteed to attract the DF shoppers who are constantly on the look-out for limited editions and special packs in our channel and The Dalmore, with its impressive collection of rare and exclusive expressions, will continue to drive spend per passenger."

“This innovation is an important part of our strategy to drive the Prestige category and increase spend per shopper by encouraging them to trade up.
