Luxury single malt The Dalmore has released a three-bottle, limited edition collection of whiskies matured in vintage port casks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the year that The Dalmore\u2019s legendary Master Distiller Richard Paterson celebrates his 50th year in the whisky industry, The Vintage Port Collection is the latest in a long line of ground-breaking releases from the iconic whisky producer.<\/p>\n

Crafted using the finest aged Port pipes from renowned winemakers W&J Graham\u2019s, Paterson\u2019s unrivalled knowledge of the cask maturation process has been applied to full effect in creating a unique collection of port-finished vintages from 1996, 1998 and 2001.<\/p>\n

Reflecting the pioneering heritage and artistry which has helped The Dalmore define the luxury single malt category, The Dalmore Vintage Port Collection is matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, creating a pristine canvas for Richard to create this uniquely finished collection.<\/p>\n

Tawny Port pipes from Graham\u2019s vineyard in Douro, Portugal add the finishing touches to the collection, using pipes reserved exclusively for The Dalmore. Graham\u2019s signature port palate perfectly matches the depth and quality of The Dalmore\u2019s complex new make spirit, enabling the spirit to be matured for longer in a greater variety of casks.<\/p>\n

The collection\u2019s oldest expression is the 1996 Port Vintage. A whisky which is indulgent and smooth, it offers a palate of Gingerbread and passion fruit, with a finish of pineapple, marzipan and blood oranges.<\/p>\n

The 1998 Port Vintage comprises a fruity palate of honeyed bananas, blueberries and grapes, with Damson plums and dark treacle providing a depth to the finish. The final member of the collection is the 2001 Port Vintage which offers a spicier aroma and a palate of morello cherries. A coffee finish is accompanied with hints of Turkish delight and figs.<\/p>\n

Richard Paterson, Master Distiller at The Dalmore added: \u201cFor me, port and whisky complement each other perfectly, with port providing a fruitier palate to The Dalmore\u2019s deep and complex new make spirit. Being able to finish these new releases in pipes of Graham\u2019s port, which are some of the finest quality, during my anniversary year is incredibly exciting. I\u2019m delighted to be able to continue our founder\u2019s vision of creating new expressions that push the boundaries of what\u2019s possible in the luxury single malt category.\u201d<\/p>\n
