Limited Reserve Exclusive 2003 for Harrods

Produced in limited quantities, and boasting a rich sweetness, only 100 bottles of the 2003 Vintage release and 450 bottles of the 2006 Vintage whisky have gone on sale. The 2003 Vintage (55.2% ABV), costing £1,500, has been matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and finished in sumptuous Premier Grand Cru Bordeaux wine barriques.

The aroma consists of creamy caramel, sweet figs, Bakewell tart and banana bread, and on the palate, Sanguinello blood oranges, heather, honey and vanilla panna cotta all come to the fore. Raspberry coulis, roasted coffee and glace cherries dominate the finishing notes.

Dalmore Limited Edition 2006 Exclusive

The 2006 Vintage (55.8% ABV), priced at £200 per bottle, has been laid down in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and the finest Marsala barrels and is offered with a natural colour at cask strength. Whisky fans can enjoy an aroma of tangerine, cotton candy, honeysuckle and demerara sugar, which is accompanied by vanilla pod, toffee and soft liquorice on the palate.

Finishing notes include a combination of ginger spice, sticky toffee pudding and delicious Swiss white chocolate.
