Description
A superb and rare release, The Red Wine Cask Edition is the third addition to the Cask Curation Series from The Dalmore. This newest instalment in the range explores the flavourful effects of 2023 Châteauneuf-Du-Pape cask maturation on whisky, in collaboration with Château Mont-Redon. The Red Wine Cask Edition comprises the 24, 34, and 43 year old bottlings. Limited to 150 sets worldwide.
The 24 Year Old
Bottled at 40.7% ABV, this release offers aromas of rich honey, sweet citrus and hints of orchard fruit, alongside a palate brimming with red berries, crème brûlée, orange zest and hints of dark toffee. The finish zings with notes of mandarin, roasted coffee and soft spices.
The 34 Year Old
Exactly a decade older than the first of these releases, this liquid is superb. Bottled at 40.5% abv, the nose opens with soft florals, and subtle forest fruits. The palate is rich in dark berries, stone fruits, vanilla, and gentle wood spice. The finish draws all these disparate elements together in a lovely warm drizzled honey finish.
The 43 Year old
The pinnacle of the collection, this 43 Year Old single malt is bottled at 40.3% ABV, with a nose of dried fruit and orange marmalade, alongside a palate of forest berries, dark chocolate, hints of honeyed mango and warming spice. Bold on the finish, you’ll find final notes of dark fruit, a hint of espresso, and aged wood spice.
