The Dalmore Cask Curation Series is not just a whisky; it’s an investment in heritage and artistry. With only 150 cask sets released globally, the opportunity to acquire one is limited, making it a truly exclusive experience.
THE MAKING OF A MASTERPIECE
For over 180 years, The Dalmore has set the standard in multi-cask maturation. Hand-selected casks from the world’s finest bodegas and wineries are expertly curated to produce a sumptuous and layered whisky of legendary finesse.
Founded by Sir Alexander Matheson in 1839, the Dalmore distillery has been making masterpieces of whisky on the shores of the Cromarty Firth ever since. The Dalmore’s range of luxury whiskies isa result of a long reign of visionary whisky makers, always pushing boundaries to mature The Dalmore spirit in the rarest and most elevated of casks.
A ROYAL HERITAGE
In 1839, the Dalmore distillery was founded by Alexander Matheson, a merchant adventurer determined to create an exceptional single malt whisky. In 1867, descendants of Clan Mackenzie took control of the distillery. One of their first changes was to adorn every bottle of The Dalmore with the stag – a guarantee of peerless quality.
As the whisky community anticipates this prestigious launch, The Dalmore invites enthusiasts to explore its legacy of craftsmanship and the intricate journey of cask curation that defines this remarkable series. Select restaurants and bars featuring The Dalmore in their beverage menus, where the luxurious experience will continue to unfold at exclusive premium outlets in the UAE.
