Producer Description
The Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky recently introduced a new 21 Year Old, the newest whisky in the brand’s Principal Collection. This expression will be an annual release, and is limited to only 1,000 bottles available in the U.S. In a statement from the distiller.
The Dalmore 21 is described as the essence of the carefully-composed spirit produced by The Dalmore’s stills, with a character developed over two decades. This new expression rests for an initial period in American white oak, ex-bourbon barrels. The whisky is then matured in rare casks sourced from Sherry makers Gonzalez Byass of Jerez, Spain.
These casks were previously used within the solera system to produce The Dalmore’s 30 Year Old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry. The distiller’s notes show that The Dalmore 21 features the brand’s characteristic flavors of bitter chocolate, Seville blood orange and subtle spice.
The Dalmore team sought to create harmony in this whisky, balancing the characteristics of Colombian coffee on the nose, sweet licorice on the palette and peaches on the finish. Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass said that only after 21 years can a whisky of this quality and depth emerge, creating a distinguished single malt.
The Dalmore 21 Year Old is a result of patience and craftsmanship which we’re tremendously proud to celebrate,” he said. “We created this spirit for those looking for the finest of whiskies, while also creating an opportunity for those embarking on their whisky journey to try something truly inspirational and remarkable.
