Three decades of mastery, united by one extraordinary cask vision
With the Cask Curation Series, The Dalmore explores whisky not as a finished product, but as a living dialogue between spirit, time and wood. The 2025 Red Wine Cask Edition is a striking example of that philosophy, a collection that reveals how a single cask influence can shape whiskies of very different ages in profoundly different ways.
This limited set brings together three Highland single malts aged 24, 34 and 43 years, each selected for its depth and structure before being given a final period of maturation in rare red wine casks sourced from one of France’s most respected wine regions. Rather than overwhelming the whisky, these casks are used with restraint, lending layers of dark fruit, subtle tannin and savoury complexity while preserving The Dalmore’s unmistakable house style.
Tasted side by side, the trio becomes a journey through time. The youngest expression shows energy and generosity, with honeyed sweetness and ripe fruit lifted by a fresh red-wine edge. The 34-year-old moves into greater depth and polish, where fruit, spice and oak settle into perfect balance. The oldest whisky, at 43 years, is contemplative and commanding, rich, dark and beautifully composed, carrying the quiet authority that only decades of maturation can deliver.
The presentation elevates the experience even further. The three bottles are housed in a bespoke deep blue leather case, crafted as a permanent display piece rather than simple packaging. It reflects both the richness of red wine and the refined elegance associated with The Dalmore’s most exclusive releases. Only 150 complete sets have been produced worldwide, ensuring this edition will remain firmly within collector territory.
For those who look beyond the glass, the Red Wine Cask Edition represents more than exceptional whisky. It is a study in controlled innovation, a showcase of long-term maturation, and a tangible expression of scarcity. For collectors, it offers not only a remarkable tasting experience, but also a release with strong long-term appeal, defined by age, presentation, and unmistakable provenance.
