Dalmore has recently released three limited bottlings with three different vintages. They are three whiskies aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finish their maturation in ex-port barrels. The line was created to celebrate the 50 years of Richard Paterson, famous master distiller of Dalmore, in the whisky industry. Paterson is pleased with this series, as he thinks that the port cask finish is the best finish for a Dalmore spirit, able to add complexity and balance.
The three whiskies are:
- Dalmore Vintage 1996, bottled at 45% and with a price of £450 per bottle;
- Dalmore Vintage 1998 bottled at 44% and with a price of £200 per bottle;
- Dalmore Vintage 2001 bottled at 40% and with a price of £150 per bottle.
