    Dalmore 1997

    Distillery Exclusive Cask Strength 2016
    Lot #0450045
    FINISH DATE

    A Vintage 1997 distillery exclusive from Dalmore. This expression was created by Richard Paterson to showcase the influence of exceptional ex-bourbon casks on The Dalmore to create an elegant and refined style. Limited release has been matured by moving the whisky through three different bourob casks, each one specifically hand-selected by Mr Paterson to bring out notes of honeys, butter and creamy caramel.

    Dalmore

    Today, Dalmore is a remarkably impressive and successful distillery. Iconic branding and the use of various casks ensures a luxurious image and price tag. Its history is just as impressive with the commonly believed date of 1839 being when it was founded by Alexander Matheson. Looking across towards the Black Isle, the distillery is on the outskirts of Alness and today comprises a large site of various buildings and warehousing. Dalmore has been a prized commodity and the distillery has endured several owners and was purchased by Filipino group, Emperador, in 2014 as part of the Whyte & Mackay acquisition. What endures most about the distillery is the unique still set up, which upon visiting, harbours a mix match of shapes and sizes, plus the spirit stills that are cooled by water jackets. If you do visit, then try to see the old hunting lodge room about the visitor centre that is used to entertain and impress VIPs.
