Dalmore Cask Curation Series The Red Wine Cask Edition 43 year old Châteauneuf-du-Pape Wine Cask Finish, 40.3%

Price: 47750 Issue: Winter 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Finished in 2023 vintage Château Mont- Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape casks, the nose is the finest in the set, with aromas of chocolate-sprinkled cappuccino, marmalade peel, vanilla pod, and worn leather. To taste, it’s a gentle work of art, with initial flavors of marmalade, blueberry, red cherry, and clove, then buttery with runny honey, followed by nectarine, raspberry, and Red Vines. A short finish of cocoa, coffee, and raisin. (150 3-bottle sets worldwide) $47,750/3-bottle set
