Dalmore – Highland elegance at its finest

Dalmore is one of the most renowned distilleries in the Scottish Highlands, known for its masterful cask maturation. The use of Matusalem, Apostoles, and Oloroso sherry casks, in particular, lends its whiskies a distinctive depth and complexity.

This 21-year-old single cask bottling from a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead delivers intense dark fruit notes, spicy wood nuances, and exceptional aromatics. Bottled in Signatory Vintage's premium Cask Strength Collection, this whisky remains completely unadulterated—at natural cask strength, without coloring or chill filtration.

Tasting Notes

🍇 Nose: Opulent and deep with aromas of ripe plums, dark cherries, and raisins. This is followed by hints of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and spicy oak. A touch of tobacco and aged leather rounds out the bouquet.

🥃 Palate: Full-bodied, complex, and velvety. Sweet sherry notes blend with caramel, dried figs, and candied orange. Spicy accents of nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon perfectly complement the sweet components.

🍫 Finish: Long-lasting and warming with dark chocolate, espresso, fine oak and a subtle hint of tobacco smoke.

Description

Andrew Symington is an expert in tracking down exclusive Scotch whiskies. For the Symington's Choice series, the Signatory founder personally selects rare, expertly aged casks.

Among them, discerning distillers will find some of Scotland's most famous distilleries. For example, Dalmore. Symington filled two sister casks with the Highland distillery's voluminous single malt. After 21 years, he extracted the two single casks Dalmore 2003/2024 from the first-fill Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads No. 14743 and No. 14736 – two of Dalmore's rare independent bottlings.

The Ledaig 2005/2024 offers an individual perspective on peated whisky from the Isle of Mull. After 19 years in the first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, this Islay alternative boasts a warm amber hue as well as rich smoke, dried fruits, nuts, and maritime freshness.
