The Dalmore Decades, a one-of-a-kind selection of exceptional whiskies, tells the story of The Dalmore’s relentless pursuit of excellence over the years. It spans six decades, from one of the oldest liquors released by The Dalmore to the first Scotch created in the new millennium. A pioneer in the art of cask curation, master distiller Richard Paterson has been on a mission over the last 50 years to push the boundaries of whisky production. The Dalmore Decades is Paterson’s personal selection and a culmination of his custody of the rare casks the distillery enjoys. “Over the past 50 years, I have kept a watchful eye over our superlative inventory of rare whiskies, giving them the guidance to mature and reach their full potential in the finest casks sourced from around the world,” says proud distiller Paterson. “Each bottle marks a very special milestone in the brand’s history and has a unique story to tell, which I hope the lucky collector will enjoy with those closest to them.”
