The Dalmore 28 Year Old is initially matured in the finest American white oak ex-bourbon casks, which provide the perfect canvas from which to create this single malt. After an extended period of time, the precious whisky is then fully transferred into Graham’s Tawny Port Pipes selected from the Douro region of Portugal to complete its journey.

The Dalmore 35 Year Old single malt has been matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels, Port pipes and Matusalem oloroso sherry casks, before being married in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. Aromas of roasted coffee, liquorice, orange, Morello cherries and ginger fill the nose, complemented by notes of marmalade, ground cinnamon, chocolate cake, chestnuts, raisins, mango, plums and pineapple throughout the palate.

In its 25th year, the International Spirits Challenge is globally recognized as one of the world’s longest running and most trusted spirits competitions. As it turns out, 2020 was one of the most competitive years the ISC has ever seen. The competition tasted thousands of spirits and handed out hundred of awards, including 26 double golds, 293 gold medals, 46 silvers and one bronze in the Scotch Whisky section alone. Still, after the dust settled, it was The Dalmore 35 Year Old that stood at the top.

The GlenDronach Cask Strength offers connoisseurs a deep insight into the distillery’s signature character, by bottling at the whisky’s natural cask strength, as was the custom before the turn of the 20th Century. Add a drop or two of water to reveal a cornucopia of flavour – from richly spiced bramble wine and treacle toffee, to lingering Seville orange peel and nutmeg layered with caramel and maraschino cherry. Such is the reward of our eleventh batch of The GlenDronach Cask Strength, a richly sherried Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.

The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old is a balanced single malt whisky created by bringing the perfect harmony of two oaks into one exceptional single malt whisky. Sherry seasoned American oak adds delicate vanilla to the subtle spice of European oak, delivering a whisky with a sweeter, warmer taste and character.

Two distinct oaks create the perfect harmony within one exceptional single malt whisky. Our Double Cask whiskies are aged in two types of oak, in specially selected hand-crafted casks seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry. American oak imparts delicate flavours of vanilla, citrus and butterscotch. European oak delivers the unmistakable subtle spice of The Macallan. Once matured after 15 years, these two exceptional whiskies unite to create a distinctive single malt with a sweeter, warmer taste and character. Enjoy it neat, over ice or in a serve.
