Product Description:
Aged to indulgence, crafted for reverence.
The Dalmore 25 Year Old is a pinnacle expression in the Rare & Prestige collection—an opulent Highland single malt that exemplifies the artistry of multi-cask maturation. Matured in a complex sequence of American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, aged Tawny Port pipes, and 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks from González Byass, this whisky is a study in richness, depth, and harmony.
Introduced in 2013, it continues The Dalmore tradition of using only the rarest casks to shape its signature spirit. The resulting whisky reveals layer upon layer of aromatic spice, opulent fruit, and dark indulgence. It’s a release of remarkable finesse—each element seamlessly integrated, every detail honed with precision.
This is not simply a whisky; it is a landmark of flavour, crafted to reward both the time it took to make and the time it takes to savour.
Maker
The Dalmore’s regal heritage dates back to 1263, symbolized by the iconic 12-point Royal Stag that adorns each bottle. This emblem was a gift to Colin of Kintail, the first chieftain of Clan Mackenzie, after he saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag. In 1839, Alexander Matheson founded The Dalmore distillery, with a vision to create an exceptional single malt. In 1867, Clan Mackenzie descendants took ownership, marking the beginning of the distillery's rise to prominence and adopting the Royal Stag as a guarantee of quality.
The distillery's unique collection of stills produces a robust and fruity new make spirit, perfect for long and complex maturation. For nearly five decades, Richard Paterson has pioneered cask curation at The Dalmore. Now, Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass, awarded Master Distiller of the Year 2023, continues this tradition of excellence, blending time-honoured methods with modern innovation.
Philosophy
For nearly 200 years, The Dalmore has been guided by an unbroken lineage of visionary whisky makers. Through long-standing partnerships with the world's finest bodegas and wineries, the distillery secures access to the best casks available. Under the watchful eye of Dalmore’s whisky makers, each cask is meticulously curated to unlock the full potential of their single malt. The result is a whisky that blends time, craftsmanship, and artistry into a masterpiece—unparalleled in its complexity and refinement.
