About Dalmore 21Yr
The Dalmore 21 Year is a prestigious Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Scottish Highlands, crafted by The Dalmore distillery and part of their Principal Collection. This annual limited edition is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels for a base of vanilla and honey, then finished in hand-selected first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks from González Byass bodega, previously holding 30-year-old Matusalem Sherry, imparting luxurious complexity with dark chocolate, dried fruits, citrus zest, and warm spices. Bottled at 43.8% ABV in 750ml, it commands a premium price around $700, reflecting its rarity and refinement. What makes it special is the meticulous cask selection and 21-year maturation, delivering velvety smoothness and depth unmatched in many peers. Ideal for collectors, connoisseurs, and special occasions, it stands out in the Highland single malt category against competitors like Macallan 18 or Glenfiddich 21 by offering bolder sherry influence and richer fruit-spice layers, positioning it as a pinnacle of opulent sipping whisky.
