Dalmore Select Edition 2009 15 Year Old from The Vintages Collection is a refined and exclusive single malt whisky that showcases the best of Dalmore's craftsmanship, capturing the distinct essence of the year 2009. This annual release offers a carefully curated blend of casks that have been hand-selected by Dalmore's master whisky makers to create an unparalleled experience for whisky connoisseurs.

Matured for 15 years, this expression starts its journey in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, which impart classic notes of vanilla, caramel, and a delicate layer of toasted oak. This foundation is further enhanced by the addition of hand-selected Matusalem Sherry casks, which contribute rich flavors of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and subtle spice. The final touch is the aging in Graham’s 10-year-old Tawny Port pipes, which add a luscious sweetness and complexity, with hints of ripe red berries, nuts, and a velvety smooth finish.

Bottled at a robust 48.9% ABV, this non-chill filtered, naturally colored whisky retains all of its depth and character, offering a full-bodied, multi-layered experience. Its long, satisfying finish lingers on the palate, making it perfect for savoring on special occasions or sharing with fellow whisky enthusiasts.

With each sip, Dalmore Select Edition 2009 reveals the exceptional care and artistry behind its creation, embodying the rich heritage and timeless elegance that Dalmore is known for.
