The Dalmore Unveils The Vintage Collection 2023
The Dalmore has unveiled two new limited edition single malt Scotch whiskies – The Dalmore 2005 Vintage and The Dalmore 2008 Vintage – which form the third release from The Dalmore Vintage Collection.
The Dalmore 2005 Vintage was first matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, then enhanced by hand-selected Matusalem Sherry and Vintage 2005 Sherry casks. Presented of natural color, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 49.3% ABV, The Dalmore 2005 Vintage is described as having aromas of “dark chocolate, salted caramel, antique leather, and rich orange citrus.” The palate exhibits notes of “rich cacao, blood orange, dark fruits, marzipan, and moist ginger cake,” concluding with “Madagascan vanilla with Seville orange, a rich nuttiness, and long, dry chocolate complexities” on the finish.
The Dalmore 2008 Vintage was initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, then enhanced by hand-selected Matusalem Sherry and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks. Presented of natural color, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 45.8% ABV, The Dalmore 2008 Vintage is described as having aromas of “milk chocolate, caramel, mandarin, and cracked black pepper.” The palate exhibits notes of “Manuka honey, sweet cacao, poached apples, and golden sultanas,” concluding with “vanilla cream, chocolate brioche, Navelina orange, and a light cinnamon warmth” on the finish.
The Dalmore 2005 Vintage (RRP £450) and 2008 Vintage (RRP £225) will be available worldwide beginning this month.
