In the 13th Century a member of the Mackenzie family risked his life to save Scotland's ruler, King Alexander III, from a charging stag. As a token of his appreciation the grateful monarch bequeathed the stag to the Mackenzie family where it became a symbol of valour and courage. The 12-point stag's head has also come to symbolise the regal pedigree of this rare Highland malt as it sits proudly on every bottle, the King of Malts. For well over a century a variety of fine Dalmore single malts have been crafted by a small band of local stillmen. In particular, on 21st March 1966, Col. H. A. C. Mackenzie distilled and filled to cask what has now become the Dalmore 40 Year Old masterpiece. Different woods, from American White Oak to the specially selected casks from the Bodegas of Gonzalez Byass in Jerez de la Frontera, all made their distinctive contribution. But most importantly, so did our Master Blender, Richard Paterson. Only his sixth sense judged when the balance between wood, air and spirit was perfect for creating a whisky this rare, this sensational. How rare? Only 1,000 bottles of this superb malt are in this, the first release. Orange marmalade combines with Christmas pudding on the nose. Faint notes of wood linger in the background. Brittle toffee and bitter chocolate combine skilfully on the palate with spicy orange and almonds. And the finish goes on forever. scottish whisky

Dalmore - 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon 70cl Bottle Wine SpiritsandTobacco The King of Malts meets the King of Grapes. That's the exciting prospect we have here. Initially matured in American White Oak, this whisky has subsequently spent several years gathering complexity in Cabernet Sauvignon casks. Not ordinary casks. But those from a rare vintage Chateau Haut - Marbuzet (Saint Estephe) and specially selected by our Master Blender, Richard Paterson. So their pedigree is faultless. The aim was to retain as much character of the malt as possible, and not to rush the various stages, allowing the whisky time to harmonise. Taking an age to reach perfection, but only a few seconds to recognise, this is a deserved masterpiece. The nose is initially far from a typical Dalmore, with notes of grape pulp, prunes and fudge, leading to aromas of soft fruit and honey. However, the taste does have the citrus orange character of Dalmore which is combined on the palate with blackberries, liquorice and a distinct suggestion of richly mellow, vintage red wine. The finish is long and spicy with plums and ripe autumn berries right to the end. Very much an intriguing whisky with true elegance and refinement, the Dalmore Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most distinctive, 33 year old limited edition releases. Restricted Release of only 1000 bottles. scottish whisky Review this product + Add to my saved list	Review this store TheDrinkShop 4241-10411	£426.36	Visit Store »
