Brand new bottle, in excellent condition. In a secluded area on the shores of Cromarty Firth, exposed to the strong winds of the North Sea, Matheson started from scratch in this wild land, building everything from warehouses to railway lines. Matheson forged his own path and ensured that this whisky always retained its own unique and tasteful character. Others may try to replicate the artistry found in every drop of The Dalmore, but they will never succeed. This is because the maturation process is completely unique. The Dalmore is matured in two precious wooden casks: ex-bourbon American white oak barrels and exclusive aged sherry casks from Gonzalez Byass.
