The Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky recently announced the US launch of The Dalmore Aged 17 Years, the first new expression added to the brands Principal Collection in four years.
As the deepest exploration of sherry maturation the collection has yet seen, the 84 proof expression began in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels and was then finished in a trilogy of aged sherry casks, including Amoroso, rare Apóstoles, and Matusalem Oloroso. Each sherry cask was hand-selected exclusively from González Byass, one of the world’s most celebrated sherry producers. The Dalmore 17-Year-Old is the oldest expression in its portfolio to be finished in all three of these casks simultaneously, and no other distillery holds access to this combination.
The whisky is presented in a luxurious purple gift box with a magnetic closure, housing The Dalmore’s signature silhouette bottle and 12-point Royal Stag.
Sherry maturation has been central to The Dalmore’s heritage for centuries. It is the craft that defines the distillery’s character and a tradition made possible, in large part, by the brand’s longstanding exclusive partnership with González Byass. For more than 100 years, this relationship has granted The Dalmore’s whisky makers access to some of the rarest and most prized casks the Bodegas hold.
The Dalmore 17-Year-Old is available for $250.
