Dalmore 21 Year Old 2024 Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Step into the upper echelon of Highland Scotch craftsmanship with The Dalmore 21 Year Old 2024 Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Distilled at the world-renowned Dalmore Distillery along the tranquil shores of the Cromarty Firth, this limited annual release represents the apex of Master Distiller Richard Paterson’s famous wood curation philosophy. Adorned with the shimmering 12-pointed Royal Stag silver emblem, this 21-year-old expression is an iconic centrepiece for serious Scotch collectors and sherry-cask whisky connoisseurs.

To create this remarkable single malt, the spirit spent two full decades maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, establishing a silky foundation of sweet vanilla, honey, and soft spice. The whisky was then transferred for its crucial final year of maturation into hand-selected 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks sourced exclusively from the world-famous González Byass bodega in Jerez, Spain. Bottled at a refined strength, this exceptional double-cask maturation delivers a rich, dark, and decadent flavour profile that defines luxury Highland malt.

The Peak of Highland Maturation

The Collector's Annual Release: Annual allocations of The Dalmore 21 Year Old are among the most eagerly anticipated bottles in the high-end spirits market. The 2024 Edition brings an extraordinary depth of flavour where ultra-aged Spanish sherry wood seamlessly interweaves with dense Highland malt character, making it an ideal choice for milestone celebrations and high-value spirit collections.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma / Nose: Rich, velvety, and deeply aromatic. Seville orange marmalade, bitter chocolate truffles, and sweet ginger cake open the bouquet, followed by caramelized red apples, marzipan, and warm polished oak.
  • Palate / Flavour: Decadent, thick, and mouth-coating. Complex layers of black forest gateau, dark roasted coffee, and sticky pipe tobacco merge effortlessly with sweet dark fruit, roasted pecans, and warm clove spice.
  • Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and sophisticated. Lingering notes of dark cocoa, candied citrus peel, sweet fruitcake tannins, and gentle baking spices persist for minutes.

Sip The Dalmore 21 Year Old 2024 Edition neat to dissect its 30-year-old sherry wood influence, or keep it displayed as a crown jewel in your rare Highland Scotch collection.
