Origin: Scotland
Distillery: Dalmore
The stunning 2024 annual release of The Dalmore's 40-year-old single malt initially matured in American white oak bourbon barrels before it was divided into portions for further maturation in a selection of special casks. One portion was transferred to 30-year-old Matusalem oloroso sherry casks, while another was filled into rare Graham’s Port Colheita casks from 1970. The whiskies were then carefully married back together for this immensely impressive and exquisitely presented single malt.
Dalmore 40-Year-Old (2024 Release) Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Cherries, plums, sultanas, toffee apples, and vanilla pods.
Palate: Orange peel, chocolate truffles, Old English marmalade, and crushed walnuts.
Finish: Black Forest fruits, poached pear laced with caramel, and dark chocolate.
Distillery Information
Dalmore was founded by Alexander Matheson in 1839 and now stands as Whyte and Mackay’s largest distillery as well as being the flagship for the brand. The house style is undeniably one of rich, full-bodied whisky, with orange, chocolate and coffee flavours, and Dalmore whisky is regularly enjoyed as a post-dinner digestif. Matheson sold to Andrew and Charles Mackenzie in 1867, who introduced the 12-pointed Royal Stag emblem. Complex multi-cask maturation was also a philosophy pioneered by the Mackenzies - a tradition kept alive today – enhancing and complementing The Dalmore’s distinctive house style. Dalmore’s original stills date back to 1874, with four stills dating from the 1960s that are identical in their distinctive stumpy shape but twice the size. The flat tops unusually provide reflux in the wash stills, but increase copper contact while the spirit stills have water jackets to increase reflux again. The distillery has shell-and-tube condensers, but for the spirit stills these are horizontal so as to mimic worm tubs and bring more weight to the spirit. Due to the unorthodox nature of the set-up, the process is still very manual, with still temperatures, spirit strength, and cut points regularly tweaked to achieve the right balance. The result is a complex, full-bodied, and robust new-make spirit, which allows the whisky to develop a rich depth of flavour through long maturation in the world’s most exquisite casks, with sherry casks from Gonzalez Byass a regular favourite.
