The Dalmore 1981 was distilled 24th November then has matured for 26 years in bourbon casks then a final intense period in a Gonzalez Byass Amoroso cask to produce a stunning whisky bottled at 42%abv.
484 bottles were filled. The packing matches the whisky - nothing short of superb.
Founded in 1839, Dalmore distillery lies between the Dornoch and Cromarty Firths, looking over the latter. Currently owned by White and Mackay, being used extensively in their blends. In 1966 the unusual stills were increased from 4 to 8, unusual in that they have copper clad cooling jackets, the oldest dating from 1874, these allow to fill the jacket cooling the distillate vapours and creating early condensation.
