The Dalmore 21 Years Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that represents two decades of Scottish craftsmanship at its absolute finest?

The Dalmore 21 Years Highland Single Malt stands as the crown jewel of the distillery’s Principal Collection, representing over 180 years of whisky-making excellence. This annual limited edition release undergoes a meticulous double-maturation process that sets it apart from younger expressions like the Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask. The exclusive finishing in 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks from González Byass bodega creates complexity that rivals even the Dalmore 25 Years expression.
