The Luxe Experience of Whisky: The Dalmore’s New Release and the Festive Spirit of Midleton Distillery

Whisky aficionados, rejoice! The Dalmore has outdone itself by launching the Cask Curation Series II: Port Edition, showcasing the art of whisky-making with a touch of opulence. This release includes an exquisite collection of single-malt whiskies, aged to perfection and finished in the finest tawny port casks.

Experience the art of whisky at The Dalmore.

The Cask Curation Series II features three remarkable whiskies: a 27-Year-Old, 30-Year-Old, and 43-Year-Old, all carefully aged in Grahams single-harvest tawny port casks from the years 1997, 1994, and 1952. Each bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and heritage, bringing out unique flavors that reflect the passage of time and the character of its cask.

Gregg Glass, the master whisky maker at The Dalmore, discusses the significance of these cask finishes, stating that they bring a “dance of antique flavors” to the palate. The interplay of sweetness, umami, and floral notes can transform one’s drinking experience from mundane to extraordinary. It’s an invitation for enthusiasts to explore the nuanced profiles each whisky offers, contributing to a rich tapestry of whisky culture.

With an MSRP of $44,450 for a full set, only 150 sets are available worldwide, making this an exclusive treasure for collectors and serious connoisseurs. Available at select retailers, including the renowned Whisky Exchange, it’s a premium experience waiting to be savored.
