The Dalmore 25 Year Old 2022 Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

The Dalmore 25 Year Old 2022 Edition is a landmark expression from one of the Scottish Highlands' most respected distilleries, representing a quarter century of patient maturation under the supervision of Master Distiller Richard Paterson OBE. Dalmore's signature multi-cask maturation philosophy reaches exceptional complexity at 25 years, drawing on a carefully orchestrated combination of American white oak ex-bourbon casks and Matusalem Oloroso sherry butts to build a profile of extraordinary richness, depth, and integration. Each annual edition of the Dalmore 25 reflects the specific character of the casks selected at that point in the distillery's maturation program, making the 2022 edition a time-specific expression that will not be repeated in future releases. Presented in the signature Dalmore bottle with the iconic silver stag head and housed in a striking charcoal gray presentation box with an embossed silver stag panel, this is a collector expression that sits between the more accessible Dalmore 18 and the ultra-rare Dalmore 30 and 40 Year Old releases, occupying its own distinct tier of long-aged Highland single malt excellence.

ABV / Proof

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep rich mahogany with glowing amber and copper tones, reflecting a quarter century of multi-cask Highland maturation

Nose: Deeply complex and layered, with dark bitter orange, dried fig, rich toffee, beeswax, aged Matusalem sherry sweetness, and a warm coastal complexity that is the hallmark of long-aged Dalmore. The ex-bourbon casks contribute vanilla and a creamy sweetness that balances the sherry depth beautifully.

Palate: Rich and structured, with dark chocolate orange, stewed plum, espresso, vanilla cream, toasted almonds, and a profound oak depth from 25 years of cask interaction. The Matusalem sherry influence is pronounced and beautifully integrated, adding a sweetness and density that is the defining character of the Dalmore style at this age.

Finish: Very long and resonant, with dark dried fruits, bitter chocolate, warm oak spice, and a final wave of sherry sweetness that lingers and confirms the quality of two and a half decades in exceptional casks.

FAQ

How does Dalmore 25 sit within the Dalmore aged range?
The Dalmore aged range moves through 12, 15, 18, 25, 30, and 40 Year Old expressions. The 25 Year Old sits above the widely available 18 and occupies a distinct long-aged tier below the ultra-rare 30 and 40 Year Old releases. It is the entry point to Dalmore's collector-tier age-stated expressions. We also carry the Dalmore 30 Year Old 2021 Edition and the Dalmore 40 Year Old in store.

What makes the 2022 Edition distinct from other years?
Each annual edition of the Dalmore 25 draws from a specific cask selection at that moment in the distillery's maturation cycle. The 2022 edition reflects the particular character of those casks at peak maturity that year. Future editions draw from different casks and will have their own distinct profile, making each annual release genuinely non-repeatable.

What is Matusalem Oloroso and why does Dalmore use it?
Matusalem is an exceptionally old and concentrated Oloroso sherry, aged for at least 30 years in the solera system. Dalmore has used Matusalem casks as a cornerstone of its luxury expressions for decades, contributing a distinctive dark fruit richness and density that lighter sherry styles cannot replicate.

Does it come with the presentation box?
Yes. The Dalmore 25 Year Old 2022 Edition is presented in its original charcoal gray box with the embossed silver stag panel as shown.
