This Dalmore 40 year old is an amazing whisky, which I have also had the good fortune to taste it. Being distilled on 21st March 1966. The make was matured in different woods including American white oak and specially selected Sherry casks from the bodegas of Gonzalez Byass. Master blender Richard Paterson, using his sixth sense, judged when the balance between wood, air and spirit was in perfect harmony.

Only 1000 bottles of this superb malt are in this first release.,/p>

Founded in 1839, Dalmore distillery lies between the Dornoch and Cromerty 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.
