The Dalmore CASK CURATION SERIES

The fourth chapter in the Cask Curation Series, The Maderia Wine Cask Edition comprises three exquisite and exceptionally rare whiskies matured in three different styles of Madeira wine pipes -  Terrantez, Bual and Malvasia. 

This edition showcases the influence of Madeira wine casks sourced from Blandy’s historic lodge in Funchal, perfectly harmonising with our signature style of chocolate, orange and spice, to create a whisky of remarkable depth and distinction. 

Each of the 150 sets is housed in a hand-crafted presentation case, covered in warm ochre Saffiano leather - paying homage to the golden hues of of Madeira’s sunlit landscapes and the rich vibrancy of the Malvasia, Bual and Terrantez grapes as they ripen of the vine.

Finished in extremely rare Terrantez casks for eight months, this elegant expression offers a delicate aroma of orange blossom and citrus zest with hints of hazelnuts, and exotic spice on the nose. The palate reveals notes of stone fruit, caramelised orange peel, toasted walnuts, and a subtle minerality, before dried apricot, caramel, sweet oak, and allspice on the finish.

Finished in Bual casks for eight months, this rich and warm expression opens with an aroma of dried fig, stone fruit, vanilla toffee, and hints of cardamom. On the palate, Seville orange, peach, Manuka honey, and nutmeg unfold before notes of dried fruits, toffee, sweet oak, and patisserie spices on the finish.

The most mature whisky in the collection, this exquisite expression, nurtured in Malvasia pipes for three months, shines with an enticing aroma of dates and stewed fruit, layered with toffee, and stem ginger. On the palate, notes of golden syrup, dried fruits, chocolate orange, and walnut await before a finish of spiced orange, toffee, sweet malt, and crystalised ginger.

The spirit of Cask Curation is about celebrating The Dalmore's treasured partnerships and collaborative working style with the world’s finest bodegas and wineries.
