The Dalmore Principal Collection Comes of Age with

21 Year Old 2022 Edition Highland Single Malt

Distinguished by a 100% finish in Rare Matusalem Oloroso Sherry Casks

The 21 Year Old epitomises the meticulous craft and curation of casks synonymous with The Dalmore

The Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has introduced a new 21 Year Old, set to become the pinnacle of The Dalmore Principal Collection. This elegant expression showcases the care taken to nurture The Dalmore Single Malt Whisky across 21 years of whisky making artistry. This new annual release is strictly limited to 8,000 bottles and available to purchase and enjoy in select locations worldwide.

The Dalmore 21 is a celebration – 21 years in the making.  It captures the essence of the carefully composed spirit produced by The Dalmore’s symphony of stills, with a character developed over 21 years. The Dalmore’s whisky artistry team takes exceptional care to balance the influence of the rare casks and ensure that the character of The Dalmore 21 Years Old shines through.

A toast to the refinement that comes with age, The Dalmore 21 Year Old is a celebration of exceptional character and showcases the potential that emerges at this milestone, evolving to create a true masterpiece worth commemorating.

The Dalmore distillery produces a spirit renowned for depth and finesse, perfectly suited to maturation in carefully curated casks. This new expression rests for an initial period in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. The whisky is then matured in specially selected rare casks sourced from esteemed sherry makers Gonzalez Byass, of Jerez. These casks were previously used within the unique solera system to produce the distinguished 30 Year Old Matusalem oloroso sherry.

The Dalmore 21 Year Old composition features a refined house style of bitter chocolate, Seville blood orange and subtle spice. The Dalmore whisky artistry team has sought to create harmony in this expression, balancing the characteristics of Columbian coffee on the nose, sweet liquorice on the palette and peaches on the finish.

Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass explains: “Only after 21 years can a whisky of this quality and depth emerge, creating a delectably distinguished Single Malt.

“The Dalmore 21 Year Old is a result of patience and craftsmanship which we’re tremendously proud to celebrate. We created this spirit for those looking for the finest of whiskies, whilst also creating an opportunity for those embarking on their whisky journey to try something truly inspirational and remarkable from The Dalmore.”

The Dalmore Principal Collection is an exceptional collection of eight Single Malt Whiskies, each an expression of The Dalmore’s signature depth and finesse. The Dalmore 21 Years Old will become the pinnacle of the collection that features the iconic The Dalmore King Alexander III and The Dalmore 18 Years Old.

The Dalmore 21 Years Old (bottled to be enjoyed at ABV 43.8%) is available from select retailers worldwide with an RRP of £575.

Tasting notes 

Aroma – Generous and full as appealing aromas of dark bitter chocolate, overripe Seville oranges, Colombian coffee and vanilla come into play. A whisper of toffee apple and pecan pie dance in the background with great charm and persistence.

Palate – Explosive, heart-warming as a cascade of alluring flavours roll over the palate; sweet liquorice stick, grippy Black Forest fruits, roasted walnuts and thick marzipan make their presence felt before another level of luxury follows on – succulent peaches in a thick syrup, ginseng, pear tarte tatin and Sanguinello blood oranges.

Old & Rare 16 Year Old
Second Fill American Oak
TD0048

Tomorrow we release our very first Old & Rare from a second fill cask: TD0048.

A second fill barrel is the podium on which the character of our distillery can stand. It is the instrumental version of your favourite song – the notes you’ve never heard. The flavours of the oak are less prominent in a second fill cask, so by achieving a long maturation in one, we are looking behind the ‘curtain of oak’ at the full potential of our DNA.

Something magical happens to Sullivans Cove whisky once it passes 16 years old, and this is the first time we get to taste that magic without the influence of first-fill oak.

American Oak Refill Old & Rare: TD0048

Warm, round notes of caramel fudge, cantaloupe and custard announce the arrival of Sullivans Cove spirit character. The second fill of this cask means there’s very little ‘oak grip’ to speak of – and structure wise, the thick, silky texture offers more than any oaky grip does.

A tropical blast of dried mango, guava, sherbet and citrus rest above chocolate panforte, milk biscuits, dark cherries and earthy truffle. An impeccably layered palate.

16 years old, matured in a 300L second fill American oak cask, TD0048 yielded 406 bottles.
