The 2022 release of The Dalmore 21 Year Old was initially matured in American oak casks and finished in first-fill Matusalem oloroso sherry butts from Gonzalez Byass, creating layers of rich fruit and warm spices throughout the palate.

On the nose, savour the citrus sweetness of Sanguinello blood oranges from Seville, melting into rich notes of bitter dark chocolate and roasted Colombian coffee and the warm scent of Madagascar vanilla pods.

On the palate, taste sweet liquorice stick, Black Forest fruits, roast walnuts and Christmas cake marzipan. The Dalmore 21 provides a triumphant, lingering finish with layers of peach, ginseng, pear tarte tatin and Sanguinello blood orange.

Under the watchful eye of our Master Distiller, the spirit is initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. This gives its first base of soft vanilla and honey notes. The whisky is then carefully apportioned between casks which have held 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry and Tawny Port pipes. It is then brought back together to harmonise in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask, creating something truly exceptional.

The Aroma

Exotic fruits, citrus, vanilla pods, treacle toffee and fig cake.

On the Palate

Madagascan vanilla pods, thick treacle toffee and chocolate truffles.

Finishing Notes

Maple syrup, dark chocolate and spiced gingerbread.
