Dalmore 18 Year Old Vintage 2003 bottled 2022 70cl, 46.9%

Description

Dalmore 18 Year Old Vintage 2003 bottled 2022 70cl, 46.9% is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky from The Dalmore Distillery, released as part of The Dalmore Vintage Collection. Public records confirm this bottle as a 2003 vintage, bottled in 2022 at 18 years old and 46.9% ABV.

This release was built around a core of American white oak ex-Bourbon cask matured Dalmore, then enhanced with parcels from Rivesaltes sweet wine casks, Matusalem Sherry casks, Amoroso Sherry casks and further small batch Bourbon casks. Only five casks were used for this 2003 Vintage release, giving it a much more focused and collectible identity than a standard core-range Dalmore.

Expect a rich and indulgent Dalmore profile with Manuka honey, dark toffee, aged vanilla, warm honey, maple syrup, spiced dark fruits, antique honey, old English marmalade and sweet spice. The supplied image shows the bottle with its original Dalmore 2003 Vintage presentation box, making it a strong bottle for collectors, gifting and serious Highland whisky shelves.

Why Choose Dalmore 18 Year Old Vintage 2003 bottled 2022 70cl, 46.9%

This release stands out because it captures a single vintage year from The Dalmore rather than following the regular core-range style. The 2003 vintage is rich, mature and sherry-forward, with sweet wine depth, Bourbon cask polish and classic Dalmore orange-and-spice character.

For drinkers, it offers honey, toffee, vanilla, maple syrup, dark fruits, marmalade and warming sweet spice. For collectors, the 2003 vintage, 2022 bottling year, 18 year age statement, five-cask selection and original box make it a highly desirable Dalmore release.

Collector’s Note

Dalmore 18 Year Old Vintage 2003 bottled 2022 has strong collector appeal because it belongs to The Dalmore Vintage Collection and represents a specific 2003 distillation year. It was released as part of the second annual Dalmore Vintages series, alongside the 2007 Vintage bottling.

The 18 year age statement, 46.9% strength, five-cask selection and original presentation box give this bottle a more serious collector identity than a standard Dalmore core expression. Its combination of Bourbon, Rivesaltes and sherry cask influence also gives it a rich, layered profile that fits very well with Dalmore’s luxury Highland style.
