I am sure there will be a few crackers amongst the 21 bottles but they will probaby be way beyond my whisky budget. William, do you know any of the prices Question

I am guessing the Vintage 1964 46 year old may be way out my price range.

Given that the standard Dalmore 18 year old is around Â£85 i would guess that for the youngest in the new range, the Dalmore Constellation Collection 1992 19 year old single cask, cask strength bottling you will probably have to pay at least Â£100 perhaps a good bit more.

You are right Brummie you will have to pay a good bit more. I didnt have the prices when i first posted but i do now and have added them to the article here:

www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/dalmoreconstellationcollection.htm

The Dalmore Constellation Collection will initially consist of 21 individual expressions, which have been bottled at natural cask strength and at natural colour.

The plan is to release approximately 20,000 bottles - 4,000 a year - under the Constellation Collection banner.

Prices range from Â£20,000 RSP for a bottle of the Vintage 1964 to Â£2,000 for a bottle of Vintage 1992. The entire collection will sell for Â£158,000 and World Duty Free Group has been allocated two complete collections; all the number 1 bottles from each year and all the number 8 bottles from each year.

Ah but who could resist a hand blown decanter with solid silver adornments? I'll wait for the one with the platinum stag's head I think.

Dalmore don't half know how to do the premium stuff! shame their 15 year old is so dire, I have a bottle of it lying around in hipflasks waiting to be drunk begrudgingly on the golf course

The Dalmore Aurora goes for 4000 pounds or almost $6400 Canadian. It was set to cask in 1964.
