Dalmore 35 has been aged in a Bourbon barrel, Matusalem Sherry butt and Colheita Port pipe cask. The elegant whisky is presented in a hand-blown crystal decanter crafted by French crystal house Baccarat. The Dalmore stag emblem featured on the decanter is the work of Scottish silversmith and Royal Warrant holder Hamilton & Inches. Richard Paterson, Master distiller at Dalmore, who celebrated 50 years working in whisky in 2016, said: ‘It took careful maturation in three different kinds of wood over 35 years to release the full potential of this whisky. ‘Only after this long period did the whisky finally become everything I envisaged it could be.’
Tasting notes
Satin amber with facets of freshly polished copper
Excellent. Less sherried than expected from this distillery, but very vibrant and lively. Lots of ethereal notes, rose petals and buttercups, alongside juicy mango, apricots and hints of bananas and pineapple. Hints of orange cake and almond pastry.
Very fruity in a tropical way. Oranges, bananas, ripe mango, hints of passion fruits. Touches of candied ginger and clove after a while, as well as hints of roasted chestnuts and a little sweet coffee
Fairly long, on fruit tea, soft herbs, honey and gingerbread
