The Dalmore 2000 - 2018 Millennium Release is an exclusive series of single malt whiskies available only to Dalmore Custodians, a select group of dedicated fans of the distillery. This series includes three unique bottlings, released in the years 2012, 2015, and 2018, with each bottling limited to just 421 bottles. The first bottling, named the Dalmore 1263 Custodian Bottling, was matured in American ex-bourbon wood and then carefully transferred into a Matusalem oloroso sherry cask before being bottled in 2012. The second bottling in the series, the Dalmore 2015 Custodian Bottling, enjoyed maturation in a 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry butt from Gonzalez Byass. Finally, the third bottling, also a Dalmore 1263 Custodian Bottling, was initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks and then finished in Matusalem oloroso sherry butts. Dalmore distillery, known for its prestigious single malt whiskies, has been under the expert guidance of Master Blender Richard Paterson for many decades. Part of the Whyte & Mackay blending giant since 1960, the distillery has continued to flourish despite changes in ownership. Each bottling in the Dalmore Millennium Release series represents a unique and rare opportunity for collectors and whisky enthusiasts to experience the exceptional quality and craftsmanship synonymous with The Dalmore distillery.
The Dalmore 2000 Millennium Release is unique due to its limited availability, with each bottling restricted to just 421 bottles. It is also exclusive to Dalmore Custodians and features intricate maturation processes involving American ex-bourbon wood and Matusalem oloroso sherry casks.

Having reconciled with Dalmore, which I often criticize for lowering ABVs, I was eager to try this cask strength whisky. The complexity and depth of flavors here are impressive, with notes of apples, candied orange, and a strong sherry influence on the nose. The taste brings out meaty and earthy elements, while the finish leaves a lasting impression of bitter orange and dark chocolate. This bottle undeniably showcases what Dalmore is capable of, elevating my appreciation for their craft.
