The Dalmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky unveils the newest releases of its Select Editions Collection, The Dalmore Select Edition 2007 and The Dalmore Select Edition 2010.
Both expressions celebrate the distillery’s annual cask assessment. The Dalmore Select Editions are one-time releases, each non-chill filtered, of natural color, and bottled at specially selected strengths by The Dalmore whisky makers.
“The Dalmore is home to rare and precious spirit, laid down to mature within exemplary casks and nurtured for years,” says The Dalmore whisky makers. “Yet no one can truly know what time and nature have bestowed upon these whiskies until it is time to take stock of these treasures. ” Every November, after the warm summer months and the cooling winter temperatures have shaped the spirit, The Dalmore whisky makers spend a complete week in the distillery’s storied warehouses on the shores of the Cromarty Firth, personally nosing and assessing every maturing cask. This meticulous tradition remains central to The Dalmore’s whisky-making process and reflects a level of craftsmanship increasingly rare in the industry today.
“The annual cask assessment is one of the most important moments in our whisky-making calendar,” they continue. “After years of maturation, it is during this week that we carefully assess every cask and discover those that truly capture the depth and signature character of The Dalmore. The Select Editions celebrate those rare moments when certain casks reveal a distinctive facet of our house style. While every cask is evaluated, only those destined for The Select Editions are chosen. ”
The Sherry casks used in both the 2007 and 2010 expressions from The Dalmore Select Editions have been exclusively sourced and hand-selected by The Dalmore from the finest Sherry makers at González Byass. For more than 100 years, The Dalmore has shared a longstanding relationship with González Byass, through which the whisky makers gain exclusive access to some of their rarest and most prized casks. Paired with The Dalmore’s unique new make spirit, these exceptional casks allow the whisky makers to express their whisky making artistry, tailoring and enriching the spirit to create these exquisite limited-edition whiskies.
The Dalmore Select Edition 2010 and The Dalmore Select Edition 2007 are available for $249.99 and $549.99, respectively.
