T
he Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has introduced a new 30-Year-Old limited-edition bottling and it starts with the 2021 edition. This would be launched on the 1st of September and there would be only 200 bottles available nationwide. The 30-Year-Old 2021 Edition is the first in what will be a series of limited annual editions. Each edition will offer a new 30-year release of The Dalmore single malt. The 2021 Edition started life in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels and was then transferred into the 30-Year-Old Tawny Port Pipes from Graham’s Port. The aged Tawny Port Pipes then work along with The Dalmore’s house style to create the whisky. The whisky has an aroma of candied orange, treacle toffee, morello cherries, and freshly baked brioche while on the palate you have black forest fruits, pear tarte tatin, and victorian plums. The finishing notes comprise of Madagascan vanilla pod, Napoleon cake, and shaved almonds. The Dalmore 30-Year-Old limited release is presented in a framed purple case and adding contrast to the darkness of
