The Dalmore 21 Year Old is a limited-edition single malt, crafted with precision and matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before finishing in first-fill Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks. These casks, previously holding 30-year-old sherry, impart rich complexity and layers of depth. As The Dalmore’s signature aged expression, this whisky offers a harmonious balance of sherry sweetness, oak influence, and intricate flavours, making it a standout choice for collectors and connoisseurs.
