DALMORE 12 YEAR OLD KYNDAL
HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT
40% ABV / 70cl
Dalmore have worked hard to position themselves as one of the world's foremost luxury whisky brands. Their elegantly packaged crystal decanters will be familiar to frequent flyers, as they often adorn the high-end display cabinets of duty-free shops in airports around the globe, carrying price tags that suggest they’re targeting those travelling on a 1st class ticket. Of course, a premium brand needs a premium product, and thankfully, Dalmore’s spirit lives up to the hype.
They have a complicated distillation process that utilises mismatched stills to produce distillates with different characteristics. These are then vatted together, before being filled into the distillery’s preferred Sherry casks, all under the watchful eye (and discerning nose) of their legendary Master Distiller, Richard Paterson.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
£40 - £60
Buyer's premium: 24.00%

And, if smoky whisky isn’t your thing, there are also exciting offerings from Macallan, Glengoyne, Glen Mhor, and Irish super-distillery, Midleton.
