Dalmore 40 750 ml

The Dalmore 40 is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky aged 40 years across a combination of American white oak, Matusalem oloroso sherry, and Amoroso sherry casks — the same layered sherry-cask approach that defines The Dalmore's house style, extended here to a genuinely rare age statement. Distilled at the distillery on the Cromarty Firth, whose stag-emblem branding nods to a 16th-century royal hunting legend, this expression represents the far end of Dalmore's range rather than an everyday pour. Expect a deep amber whisky with layered dried fruit, dark chocolate, and baking spice built up over four decades in wood. It's a bottle for serious collectors and special-occasion drinking rather than casual sipping.

How to drink The Dalmore 40

Neat, in a proper glass, with time to let it breathe — a whisky this old deserves slow, undiluted attention rather than ice or a splash of water. This is a bottle to sit with, not to rush.
