Introducing The Dalmore Luminary Collection's second release, Luminary No.2, a 2024 edition that is truly a work of art. This 16-year-old single malt whisky, crafted by the renowned Dalmore Distillery in the Highlands, was initially aged in American white oak bourbon casks, then finished in Graham's Tawny Port Pipes and Apostoles Sherry Casks, with a subtle hint of rare peated Dalmore spirit. This exceptional whisky is a collaboration between The Dalmore and V&A Dundee, as well as Melodie Leung of Zaha Hadid Architects, and is limited to 20,000 bottles.
The aromas of this whisky are simply breathtaking, with notes of manuka honey, crème brûlée, antique leather, pomegranate, guava, cherry blossom, and a light touch of peated Dalmore spirit. On the palate, you'll find flavors of ripe fig, Seville orange, forest fruits, coffee bean, fermented black limes, and brioche, leading to a satisfying finish of freshly roasted hazelnuts, wood spice, cocoa, mango, and a whisper of herbal wood smoke.
The unique aging process of this whisky, initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and then finished in Port Pipes from Graham and Apostoles Sherry casks, gives it an unparalleled complexity and depth, all enhanced by a subtle touch of peat. The velvety soft texture and subtle smokiness, combined with the higher alcohol content, give this Dalmore a truly distinctive character and flavor, with rich, fruity, and smoky notes that honor The Dalmore's distinctive style.
This whisky is not just a drink, but a collectible masterpiece that offers a taste of excellence forged over a lifetime. With its unique aging process, exceptional flavor profile, and stunning design, The Dalmore Luminary No.2 is truly a must-try for any whisky lover.
