The Dalmore 40-Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Dalmore has been a fixture in Scotch Whisky for almost 200 years now. They’re led by a number of visionary whisky makers who are constantly pushing boundaries and experimenting with all kinds of stills and different casks. Their pursuit of perfection is relentless and the results clearly show.

As crazy as it may sound, I think the Dalmore 40 Year may be even more limited and tough to secure than the 45 year. That’s probably due to the fact that despite there being slightly more made than the 45 year, only 58 precious bottles make their way to America. That’s not a lot!! This one spent time in ex-Kentucky Bourbon American oak casks before being moved to 30-year-old Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it was finished in first-fill bourbon barrels, giving it so much dang flavor, energy and depth.
