The Dalmore Constellation Cask 18: a star among the stars

Comprising 21 vintages (1964 to 1992), The Dalmore’s Constellation collection is the culmination of a centuries-old heritage, blending tradition and avant-gardism. The Dalmore’s reputation rests notably on its ability to select rare and prestigious casks, a savoir-faire passed down from generation to generation that allows the distillery to unveil every year Scottish whiskies aged 30 to 60 years and even more.

Artisanal crafting for an exceptional whisky

The Constellation Cask 18 is particularly remarkable within this collection. This cuvée is a testament to the distillery’s commitment to producing exceptional Single Malt Whiskies, reflecting both the richness of the Scottish terroir and the genius of Master Distiller Richard Paterson.

Every drop of Constellation Cask 18 is the result of a meticulous production process. It all begins with careful distillation, before the distillate is placed into carefully selected casks from the finest Sherry bodegas, Port houses, and vineyards around the world. These casks, chosen by Richard Paterson himself, impart unmatched nuances and aromas to the whisky. The non-dilution philosophy, preserving the natural cask strength developed during aging, guarantees the pure and authentic expression of this Highland spirit.
