The Dalmore 1964 – 'Expressing a multitude of flavours never experienced before'
This spirit has been patiently perfected for 46 years in our deepest darkest warehouses. 43 years slumbering in American white oak casks, has gifted the spirit with its initial backbone of creamy vanilla and honey notes. Following this, the spirit spent a further three years maturating in a Matusalem Oloroso Sherry cask, giving it a majestic quality. Provocative notes of orange, lavender and patchouli prevail, whilst whispers of coffee and black forest fruits dance on the palate. A true multitude of flavours.

"When I was assessing the final whiskies that would make it into the collection I kept coming back to this whisky. It intrigued me. The influence of sherry and age makes this one of the most dignified whiskies within the collection," Richard Paterson, Master Distiller at The Dalmore.

An in-store draw will be held for the chance to purchase this highly sought-after whisky with ballots available on January 29, 2022 at the 39th & Cambie BCLIQUOR store, located at 5555 Cambie Street, Vancouver. Customers are not required to be present at the time of draw at 2:00 p.m. to purchase and will be notified directly.
