Product Description:
A 40-year odyssey through Sherry and Port, resolved in perfect harmony.
The Dalmore 40 Year Old is the epitome of what long maturation can achieve when combined with deliberate and artful cask selection. Aged in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, the whisky is then divided between 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks and Graham’s 1970 Colheita Port pipes before being unified once more. Each element adds depth, but it's the final marriage that delivers this whisky’s uniquely resonant complexity.
Crafted under the vision of Richard Paterson OBE, this expression is both a tribute to the distillery’s heritage and a benchmark for Highland Single Malts at extended age. It’s indulgent, textured and unapologetically rich, delivering layers that unfurl across nose, palate and finish.
Best enjoyed neat, it rewards time in the glass—ideal for contemplative sipping or paired with dried figs, fine cheeses, or after a rich meal.
