Dalmore 1988, 18 Year Old

A miniature decanter of The Dalmore 18 Year Old, distilled in 1988.

There is no size or ABV stated, but this appears to be approximately 5cl.

Dalmore distillery was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, and was taken over by the Mackenzie family in 1878. The distillery remained family-owned until 1960, when one of Dalmore’s biggest customers, Whyte & Mackay, took control of the distillery. Always a significant contributor to blends, the 12 year old expression was one of the few single malt bottlings from Dalmore. In recent times, the core range has expanded and luxury expressions such as the Constellation collection (21 vintage malts from 1964 to 1992) were released.

Winning bid £650
