Product description
In December 2019, Dalmore Distillery announced a new series of whiskies intended for exclusive distribution in the Travel Retail chain.
Dalmore, currently the fifth largest single malt in duty-free sales, has seen turnover grow by 950% between 2010 and 2018. The new range comprises three editions – The Trio, The Quartet and The Quintet – finished in three, four and five casks respectively, and is inspired by the iconic Dalmore King Alexander III (finished in six casks). The Quartet presented here was finished in first-fill bourbon casks, 30-year-old Matusalem sherry casks, 30-year-old Apostoles sherry casks and Cabernet Sauvignon casks from a Bordeaux producer.

Palate: sweet dried fruits, figs, plums, black cherries, chocolate-coated raisins, toffee, a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, sherry and oak.
