Overview
The ‘truest’ expression of Dalmore we’ve tried in years, this 2009 Vintage is exclusive to Club Members. A 15-year-old, it was nurtured in hand-selected Matusalem Sherry casks (the legendary 30YO+ Oloroso from Gonzalez Byass) and Graham’s 10YO Tawny Port pipes, casks of a quality that literally only Dalmore can access.
The result? Weighty, chewy, dark, fruity whisky.
Selected during a single annual visit to the barrelhouse, this is truly one-of-a-kind Dalmore – a time capsule of distillery, place and people that can only be represented in a vintage release.

The Dalmore's History
Located in Alness, just north of Inverness on the shores of Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands, The Dalmore Distillery has been crafting whisky since 1839 when it was founded by well-to-do businessman Alexander Matheson. Matheson was a partner in Jardine, Matheson & Co, a Hong Kong headquartered firm that at the time was trading in smuggled opium, tea, and cotton. As the Jardine empire was well on its way to massive success (it’s now one of the 300 largest public companies in the world), Matheson let others do the hard work and leased Dalmore out to a number of families, sadly with little success.
