- Description
- Dalmore's 1966 vintage matured for 40 years across American white oak, Matusalem Oloroso, and Amoroso sherry casks—a rare Highland expression that showcases master blender Richard Paterson's skill in coaxing complexity from long wood contact. The triple-wood approach builds layers of dried fruit, oak spice, and rich sherry influence characteristic of Dalmore's house style.
