Dalmore Dee Dram 12 Year Old 2010 Limited Edition (70cl, 40%)
A year prior to their Rivers Collection this very first limited release of the Dee Dram was launched by Dalmore to help raise money for the River Dee Foundation.
Not to be confused with following non aged collections this 12-year-old Dee Dram limited to only 3600 bottles edition whisky has been matured 50% in Oloroso sherry and bourbon wood and 50% in American white oak bourbon barrels.
The River Dee is revered the world over for its picturesque beauty, clean crisp waters and of course its exceptional salmon fishing.
Dalmore is undoubtedly the prize single malt in the Whyte & Mackay portfolio. This was not always the case though. The blenders purchased it from the Mackenzie family in 1960, having been long-standing customers. Due to the long-running importance of it to their blends, their distillery bottlings of its single malt were limited to a 12 year old expression. Nowadays however, it is positioned as a luxury brand, rubbing shoulder with the likes of Macallan, and is globally recognised.
