The Dalmore 25 Years Old: a journey through the ages

The Dalmore 25 Years Old is far more than a simple Scotch Whisky. It is a true tasting journey, an ode to a quarter-century of patience, refinement, and passion. This exceptional cuvée, with its multiple maturation stages, stands as living proof of the distillery’s devotion and expertise.

The magic of maturation: an exceptional process

The crafting of The Dalmore 25 Years Old is a carefully orchestrated ballet of aging stages. It begins in ex-Bourbon casks, which impart gentle notes of vanilla and honey. This Single Malt Whisky is then meticulously split: partly into Fino Sherry casks aged for a quarter of a century, and partly into Port Pipes that previously held Tawny Port. This symphony of flavors is finally brought together in ex-Bourbon casks, culminating in the creation of a Highland spirit of unparalleled richness.
