In 1994, whisky lovers were increasingly clamouring for style and The Dalmore’s minimalist and iconic bell-shaped bottle was introduced, its sinuous curves echoing the voluptuous shape of the stills through which the distillery’s matchless spirit runs.
Aged initially in ex-Bourbon casks, this 25 year old whisky was then transferred into a Graham’s vintage Port Pipe from 1994 – an excellent, opulent year that was widely declared – before being crafted by hand for more than five years in a barrique used to mature Tintilla de Rota.

Tasting Notes
COLOUR
Amber cherry wood gold with glittering rays of crimson and honey.
AROMA
Enticing aromas of Victoria sponge covered with plummy jam, glacé black cherries, caramelised citrus fruits and overripe apricots. Then, attractive hints of Sanguinello blood oranges, brioche dipped in Scottish heather honey, loganberry and juicy cherries all encased in a layer of Black Forest fruit. An excellent balance of damson plums and espresso coffee.
PALATE
A silky haze of exquisite flavours of Madagascan vanilla pod, liquorice spice, crushed pineapple and Bramley apples. It continues with layers of caramel fudge, gingerbread smothered with icing sugar, soft chewy macaroons and cassis.
FINISH
A burst of red cherries, glazed nectarines, frangipane and moist pecan pie builds up to a triumphal finish.
