The Dalmore Constellation 1979 is an outstanding example of how time and cask selection can work together to create an exhilarating whisky. After spending 33 long years resting in Warehouse no. 9, the whisky had time to develop and refine at its own pace, yielding to an array of aromas including notes of apples, peaches and lemongrass. This whisky was aged and nurtured by a powerful cask made from Quercus Alba from the Ozark mountain range of Missouri. Each expression is housed in a spectacular hand-blown crystal decanter, engraved by hand and embellished with a solid silver stag.

The Dalmore has been pioneering exquisite cask curation for over 150 years. Continuing an age-old heritage that treasures the sanctity of the cask, this precious spirit is matured in exceptional casks, hand-selected by Master Distiller, Richard Paterson and sourced from the world’s finest bodegas and exclusive wineries. The Dalmore Constellation Collection is a collection of exquisite casks that are a shining example of how the wood, combined with the mastery of time, can bring a spectrum of delights to The Dalmore whiskies.Each whisky, hand selected for its quality, has been purposely released at natural strength with its natural colour and is non-chill filtered, to showcase the purity, texture and flavour profile that comes directly from Dalmore's most exquisite casks.
