REKINDLING THE LOVE FOR SHERRY
The Dalmore’s Principal Collection just welcomed another iconic addition that only highlights the elegant evolution and refined craftsmanship of its storied distillery.
The Dalmore is celebrating its inextricable affinity with sherry as it presents The Dalmore 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select. It is an exquisite union of the finest oak casks seasoned with a unique blend of rare and aged sherry, born from an enduring passion to create exceptional single malts that honor the sanctity of the cask.
To realize his vision for his latest creation, master distiller Richard Paterson selected three cooperage partners from Andalucia, Southern Spain: Tevasa, Vasyma, and Paez. Together they curated the perfect oak casks and created a bespoke sherry blend to season these casks in order to realize the exact flavor profile desired by Paterson.
“The Dalmore 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select is elegance personified and an excellent addition to our Principal Collection. Its full finish in oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks reveals a more floral, light and refined side to The Dalmore. It is a truly decadent whisky which celebrates the deeprooted alliances with our cooperage partners to source the most exquisite casks and showcase the depth of The Dalmore’s character,” Paterson says.
It is the exceptional maturation process for this bottling that ensures that this whisky embodies the essence of The Dalmore’s house style, while exemplifying the influence of sherry for a more complex, elegant and refined drinking experience.
