Dalmore 8 Year Old. Bottled 1960s by Duncan Macbeth & Co Ltd. Stopper cork with branded foil capsule. 26 2/3 Fl Ozs. 70 Proof. No box.
A glorious early official bottling of Dalmore 8-year-old released in the 1960s when the distillery’s official bottlings were still licensed to Duncan Macbeth & Co. The whisky in this bottle would have been distilled in the late 1950s or early 1960s, around the time of the distillery’s takeover by Whyte & Mackay - these old sherried Dalmores are generally nutty, minerally and very oily.
FILLING LEVEL
High Shoulder
One of the Highland’s most famous and prestigious distilleries, Dalmore has for many decades been associated with Master Blender Richard Paterson, one of the whisky industry’s biggest personalities. The distillery has been part of blending giant Whyte & Mackay since 1960 and somehow flourished during that company’s turbulent decades of ownership change and management failure preceding the takeover by Filipino owners Emperador Inc. in 2014.
Dalmore has long been associated with sherried whisky, and the distillery’s spirit is capable of extended ageing, giving Paterson almost unrivalled long-aged stocks to work with. Consequently, Dalmore has consistently pushed the envelope for luxury single malt whiskies, bottling a 50-year-old single malt whisky in the 1970s and the famous Dalmore 64-year-old Trinitas, the first £100k whisky, in 2010 - both of which included small amounts of whisky distilled in the 19th century.
