The Dalmore 2024 Release 30 Year Old Whisky is an extraordinary Highland single malt that showcases three decades of patient maturation and The Dalmore's renowned expertise in cask finishing. Initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished in a unique combination of select Colheita and Tawny Port casks from Graham's Port, this luxurious annual release delivers remarkable richness, elegance and complexity.
Bottled at 43.8% ABV, the 2024 Release is presented in a beautifully crafted display case that reflects the prestige of the whisky within. Every element of the release demonstrates The Dalmore's commitment to exceptional cask selection and meticulous whisky making, resulting in one of the distillery's finest modern expressions.
The Story Behind The Dalmore
Founded in 1839 on the shores of the Cromarty Firth, The Dalmore has built an international reputation for producing luxurious Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is particularly renowned for its relationships with some of the world's finest wine producers, using carefully selected sherry, Port and wine casks to create whiskies of exceptional richness and complexity.
The iconic Royal Stag emblem that adorns every bottle dates back to 1263, when Colin of Kintail, ancestor of the Clan Mackenzie, is said to have saved King Alexander III from a charging stag. In recognition, the Mackenzie family was granted the right to use the Royal Stag as its crest, a symbol that has become synonymous with The Dalmore and its premium Highland whiskies.
If you're exploring luxury Dalmore whisky or premium Highland single malt Scotch whisky, the 30 Year Old represents one of the distillery's greatest achievements.
The 2024 Release
The Dalmore 30 Year Old 2024 Release begins its journey in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels before undergoing a carefully managed finishing period in a unique combination of select Colheita and Tawny Port casks sourced from Graham's Port. This marriage of casks creates an extraordinary balance between vibrant fruit, rich sweetness and elegant oak spice.
The influence of the Port casks adds remarkable layers of dark berries, stone fruit and chocolate while complementing The Dalmore's naturally rich house style. The result is a whisky that feels both opulent and beautifully balanced, with every flavour seamlessly integrated after three decades of maturation.
With just 936 bottles released worldwide, the 2024 edition is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
