The Dalmore introduces new products in Vintage Collection
The Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has unveiled two new limited editions – The Dalmore Vintage 2005 and The Dalmore Vintage 2008 – which form the third release from the distiller’s prestigious Vintage Collection.
The Dalmore Vintage Collection, created by innovative Master Whisky Maker, Gregg Glass and Master Distiller, Richard Paterson OBE, offers exceptional whiskies of distinguished character.
The whiskies selected to form The Dalmore Vintage Collection are eventually dictated by the casks themselves and the way they choose to shine during the annual cask inspection week, in a tradition which dates back over fifty years.
Only the most exceptional casks, which display the fine qualities of The Dalmore and its signature style during this time, are hand-picked to become a ‘Vintage’. For the 2023 Vintage Collection, The Dalmore’s unmistakable chocolate and orange profile is showcased. The 15 Year Old, Vintage 2008 offers milk chocolate and mandarin, while the 18 Year Old, Vintage 2005 presents dark chocolate and Seville orange.
The Dalmore Vintage 2008 provides aromas of milk chocolate, caramel, mandarin, and cracked black pepper. Its taste exudes manuka honey, sweet cacao, poached apples, and golden sultanas, while in the finish expect to enjoy vanilla cream, chocolate brioche, Navelina orange, and a light cinnamon warmth.

The Dalmore Vintage 2005 offers aromas of dark chocolate, salted caramel, antique leather, and rich orange citrus. As far as its taste goes you can expect rich cacao, blood orange, dark fruits, marzipan, and moist ginger cake. In the finish, Madagascan vanilla with Seville orange, a rich nuttiness and long, dry chocolate complexities are there.
