The Dalmore Adds New 17-Year-Old Scotch to U.S. Lineup

NEW YORK, NY (July 2, 2026) – The Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has officially announced the U.S. launch of The Dalmore Aged 17 Years. This landmark bottling represents the first new expression added to the distillery’s core Principal Collection since 2022 and delivers the deepest exploration of sherry cask maturation the house has ever presented.

Crafted by The Dalmore’s master whisky makers, the 17-year-old expression leverages the distillery’s century-long exclusive partnership with prestigious Spanish sherry bodega González Byass. It stands as the oldest expression in the portfolio to be simultaneously finished in a proprietary trilogy of rare sherry casks.

The Art of the Rare Sherry Cask Trilogy

The liquid begins its 17-year journey in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels to establish a foundational profile of creamy vanilla and honey. From there, the whisky undergoes an intricate secondary maturation inside three distinct, hand-selected sherry casks:

Apóstoles Casks: Impart structure, depth, and a quietly compelling savory complexity.
Amoroso Casks: Seamlessly bind the savory and sweet elements together, delivering foundational balance.
Matusalem Oloroso Casks: Infuse the spirit with rich weight, roundness, and a sweet, deeply layered finish.

This exact multi-cask finishing combination is entirely exclusive to The Dalmore, elevating the distillery’s iconic house notes of chocolate, orange, and soft baking spice into a decadent, ultra-premium single malt.

Official Tasting Notes:

Nose: Characterful first impressions of vivid Seville orange, rich orchard fruit, and warm wood spice.
Palate: Layered and bright, unfolding with poached pears, wild forest berries, sweet toffee, and orange marmalade.
Finish: Long and deeply warming, featuring decadent dark chocolate orange, rich dried fruit, and lingering notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Luxury Presentation & Collectibility

The Dalmore Aged 17 Years serves as the natural sensory progression for collectors looking to step up from the flagship 15-Year-Old expression.

The single malt is housed in a premium, vivid-purple gift box featuring a modern magnetic closure. Inside, the distillery’s signature silhouette glass bottle is adorned with the iconic, shimmering 12-point silver Royal Stag—the historic emblem of the Clan Mackenzie that has proudly decorated every bottle since 1878.
