Overview
The Dalmore in rare Matusalem Sherry casks. Form an orderly queue for a top-shelf sherry-bomb, The Dalmore Dominium.
Normally only available through duty free stores, The Dalmore’s Fortuna Meritas Collection includes four whiskies matured in very special casks from the Gonzalez Byass bodega in Spain. At the very top of the range is Dominium, and because every cloud has a silver lining, thanks to COVID-19 we’ve been able to get our hands on some of the last remaining bottles of Dalmore Dominium in the world.
A spectacularly flavourful Sherried whisky that’s rich and sweet, but balanced and elegant at the same time, Dominium was matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels before going into casks that’ve held Matusalem Sherry for at least 30 years. If you’re wondering, Matusalem is an Oloroso Sherry cask that’s been sweetened with 25% Pedro Ximénez casks. The casks gift the whisky with a spectacular flavour experience.
It’s big and velvety, with lashings of raisins, toffee, marmalade, treacle and spices. Exquisitely bottled at 43%, if you love GlenDronach, Glenfarclas and Macallan, Dominium’s got your name on it.

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.
