Dalmore 2008 / Bot.2023 / The Vintages Collection Highland Whisky – Premium Character at a Rewarding Price

Discover a beautifully balanced Highland single malt with the depth, warmth and elegance associated with The Dalmore. Dalmore 2008 / Bot.2023 / The Vintages Collection Highland Whisky brings together carefully selected casks from a single vintage, offering a refined whisky experience without the need to choose an extravagant price tag. With its impressive presentation, distinctive flavour and 70cl bottle size, it is a smart choice for both dedicated whisky drinkers and those looking for an affordable way to enjoy something special.

This distillery bottling was created from whisky distilled in 2008 and released in 2023. It was first matured in ex-bourbon barrels, allowing the spirit to develop a smooth foundation with gentle vanilla sweetness and soft oak influence. It was then re-racked into Pedro Ximenez and Matusalem sherry casks, adding richer layers of dried fruit, chocolate and warming spice. The result is a well-rounded Highland whisky that feels luxurious while remaining approachable.

A Carefully Shaped Flavour Journey

Each stage of maturation plays an important part in the whisky’s character. The ex-bourbon barrels contribute creamy vanilla notes and a polished texture, while the sherry casks bring added richness and depth. This combination gives every sip a pleasing balance between sweet, fruity and gently spicy flavours.

• On the nose: Enjoy inviting aromas of milk chocolate, candied satsuma peel and freshly cracked black pepper.
• On the palate: Discover buttery pastries, orchard fruits and soft vanilla notes, joined by a gentle warmth from the oak and sherry cask influence.
• Overall style: Smooth, layered and easy to appreciate, with enough complexity to reward slower tasting.
• Finish: Expect a lingering combination of sweet fruit, creamy richness and subtle spice.
