The Dalmore is set to add to its repertoire a new 40-year-old expression. Let’s find out more about it!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Building on The Dalmore\u2019s pioneering heritage in the art of maturation, The Dalmore 40 has been carefully nurtured and crafted by renowned Master Distiller Richard Paterson.<\/p>\n

Having been laid down to cask 40 years ago, The Dalmore 40 has been maturated in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, before being transferred into 30 year old Gonzalez Byass Matsualem oloroso sherry butts and finally finished in first fill bourbon barrels.<\/p>\n

The result is a liquid featuring flashes of amber and fire gold, offering a multitude of aromas including Columbian coffee and marmalade. On the palate, gingerbread and honey is followed by a generous aftertaste of Sanguinello blood oranges over ripe Bramley apples and liquorice sticks.<\/p>\n

This latest expression from The Dalmore further underlines the distillery\u2019s reputation for maturing its whiskies for longer and in a greater variety of casks than many other whiskies, which is only possible due to the depth and complexity of its new make spirit.<\/p>\n

Presented in a decanter designed by artisans at renowned French crystal house Baccarat, the hand-blown decanters are adorned with The Dalmore\u2019s iconic 12 point Royal Stag emblem created by Royal Warrant Holders Hamilton & Inches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The release comes during the year of celebrations to mark Master Distiller Richard Paterson\u2019s 50th<\/sup>\u00a0year in the whisky industry.<\/p>\n

Master Distiller Richard Paterson commented: \u201cIn the year that I reflect on my time in the whisky industry, and indeed at The Dalmore, it has been a great privilege to release two of our greatest ever aged expressions \u2013 first the champagne finished 50 years old and now this exceptional 40.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith each new release I strive for depth and complexity, pushing the boundaries of whisky making and building on the knowledge and skills passed down from my predecessors. It takes time, effort and vision to create an expression as complex as The Dalmore 40 years old, moving the rare stocks of whisky between casks to build layer upon layer of character. When you bring it all together, it creates something very special indeed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
