- Journey of The Dalmore 50 Year Old.

ex-Bourbon casks

2012: The whisky is transferred to Port Colheita pipes for 4 years.
2016: In January of this year, the spirit was transferred to Bourbon barrels as it reached its desired taste profile, prior to finessing.
November 2016: The whisky was finessed in Domaine Henri Giraud Champagne casks for 50 days before bottling.
- Limited production, exquisite design.
Bottled at 40% abv, volume of 700ml; this is one whopper of an expression, with only up to 50 decanters being released, each of which will be hand-filled on order. To hold this unique whisky, the artisans at prestigious French crystal house Baccarat have skilfully created crystal decanters, each of which will be held within a presentation case designed and crafted by the accomplished furniture makers at LINLEY. Finally, each decanter will be adorned with a solid silver stag, created by silversmiths Hamilton & Inches, holder of The Royal Warrant.
- Unique taste.
It’s not the oldest version The Dalmore has ever released, but the novelty of that long-running fluid journey certainly makes it a rather unique recipe. The result is a drink with delicate flavors with aromas of orange peel, eucalyptus and mint essential oil. There’s a little vanilla, a hint of ripe banana and guava, and a rich honey-cake flavor.
Like many whiskeys of this age, the mix of different styles, the influence of oak and the special formula create a luxurious drink that will fascinate anyone who has the chance to enjoy them.
