An assemblage brought together by The Dalmore Master Distiller, Richard Paterson, created using some of the distillery’s most rare and exquisite casks. Initially matured

in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the whisky then matures in Cabernet Sauvignon barriques. It is transferred back into American white oak ex-bourbon casks before maturing in Tawny port pipes which have held 20 year old port for the penultimate stage. The precious liquid is then married together with aged whisky matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and aged Port Colheita pipes. Presented in a Baccarat crystal decanter bottle, the stag is produced by Royal Warrant-holding Scottish silversmiths Hamilton & Inches. Very limited annual release.
