Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

Probably in the Top Ten finest Whiskies ever bottled regardless of Age, Distillery or Price with the few lucky people ever sampling this Whisky putting pen to paper to document as such.

Just 60 crystal decanters were bottled way back in 1978 with a declared age of 50 years old but containing a proportion of Dalmore Whisky from 1868 and 1878 casks.

As Whisky investments go we expect this bottle to break the £250,000+ barrier before the end of this decade.

This particular bottle is in near perfect condition and is complete with everything supplied as part of the package when originally released way back in 1978.

Supplied with a Guarantee of Excellence signed by then head of Dalmore Richard Patterson and a Hard To Find Whisky Lifetime Certificate of Authenticity.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Dark coppery amber with mahogany depth and ruby-garnet edges, a warm, luminous glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry notes envelop the nose: dark fig and raisin, marmalade orange, treacle and cacao, with vanilla and almond paste. Rich oak, leather and tobacco arise, crowned by warm spice—nutmeg and cinnamon—hinting at decades of maturation. A refined, velvety aroma that speaks of the 1928 Dalmore’s rare balance and grandeur.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate opens with dark chocolate, fig and dried orange peel, layered with rich sherry fruit. Caramel and espresso deepen the core, while spices such as cinnamon and clove lift brightness on a backbone of polished oak. The finish is long and refined, bringing raisin, leather and a warm, lingering sherried glow.

Finish

An exceptionally long, velvety finish that lingers with sherry-kissed fruit—raisin, fig and orange peel—balanced by dark chocolate, espresso and spice. Warm oak persists, evolving into toasted undertones of leather and cacao, leaving a refined, contemplative glow that slowly fades to a delicate whisper.

Dalmore
(dal-MOR) Founded in 1839 and located on the shores of the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands, The Dalmore has built its reputation on rich, luxurious single malt whisky with a strong emphasis on exceptional cask maturation. Its setting allows the distillery to draw water from the River Alness, while the coastal climate plays its part in the character and ageing of the spirit.
