The Dalmore 21 Year Old - 2024 Edition

A jewel in The Dalmore’s Principal Collection, the 2024 edition of Dalmore 21 Year Old exemplifies the masterful maturation techniques that define the Highland distillery. Matured for two decades in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before spending its final years in exclusive 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks from González Byass, this whisky is bottled at 43.8% ABV.

Tasting Profile:

Nose: Rich and indulgent—dark bitter chocolate, ripe Seville oranges, deep Colombian coffee, creamy vanilla, and toffee apple.

Palate: Luxuriously smooth with sweet liquorice stick, layered Black Forest gateau fruit, roasted walnuts, and thick, luxurious marzipan.

Finish: Long and elegant—hints of ginseng, pear tart tatin, sanguinello blood orange, and Oxford marmalade linger beautifully.

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass to appreciate the aromatic layers; a few drops of water can open bold spice and fruit undertones. Pair with dark chocolate desserts, mature Gouda, or oven-roasted nuts for a decadent tasting experience.
