The Dalmore Vintages series combines the finest casks from a single year to create a single malt that embodies the distillery’s character and showcases the skill of its whisky-makers. The second release of whisky in this series includes this 2007 Dalmore that began its life in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and was transferred into a combination of Matusalem, Amoroso and Apostoles sherry casks, and Marsala wine casks, before being married together and bottled in 2022. Aromas of freshly-baked brioche, ginger cake and fondant icing fill the nose, complemented by notes of orange blossom, mandarin, cinnamon, clove, ginger snaps and sugar-dusted pastries throughout the palate.

The Dalmore Quartet Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is part of a special series launched by the distillery in late 2019. Under the direction of the company Whyte & Mackay, the well-known Scottish distillery released three bottlings with one interesting thing in common: each whiskeyWithin the modern product line, storage has been influenced by several types of casks. The trio matured in three types of casks, the Dalmore Quartet single malt scotch whiskey in four different barrel types, and the quintet even in five. These different influences have left fascinating traces on the spirits. The Dalmore Quartet Single Malt Scotch Whiskey and its brothers live up to their name and inspire as innovative trendsetters. After all, two barrels are now commonplace for whiskey maturation, but few companies venture into more.
