Dalmore 16 yo Luminary No: 2
The Luminary Series is a range of three limited edition single malts created by luminaries from the worlds of whisky and architectural design.
Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass collaborated with Melodie Leung of Zaha Hadid Architects to create this limited edition.
This 2024 edition will intrigue fans of the distillery because it includes a very small amount of extremely rare peated Dalmore spirit. This peated element was chosen by Glass because he felt that without it, there was a danger of the whisky becoming too sweet. So, it doesn't add peatiness, but rather brings out more spicy, earthy qualities.
The whisky was matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in a combination of Graham's Tawny Port pipes and Apostoles Sherry Casks.
Nose: Manuka honey, crème brûlée and antique leather, with delicate tropical notes
Palate: Ripe figs, Seville oranges, passionfruit, lightly roasted Colombian coffee
Finish: Long, woody spices, dark cocoa, woody smoke
