  Dalmunach 2015/2021 Lady of the Glen 6 years Single Speyside Malt Whisky 59,6%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278434

  Dalmunach began distilling in 2015. This bottle comes from that very first year — and six years on it is already a historic release from a distillery nobody knows yet.

  Expert description

  Dalmunach 2015/2021 Lady of the Glen 6 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in an oloroso quarter cask and bottled at cask strength of 59.6% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The cask carries the number 22 and gave 157 bottles. Dalmunach opened in 2015 at Carron in Speyside on the site of the demolished Imperial distillery and is one of the most modern productions in Scotland. A quarter cask is only about a quarter of a normal cask, which gives far more contact between wood and spirit — an efficient way of getting cask character into a young whisky.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark and intense for its age. Raisin, dark chocolate and orange peel, with a young, cereal freshness under the sherry.

  Palate

  Powerful and concentrated. Dried fruit, cocoa and spice, with malted cereal and a peppery warmth from the cask strength. The quarter cask has worked fast and left clear wood structure.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with dark fruit, nuts and a warm spiced close.

  Investment potential

  Medium. A release from the distillery's first production year in only 157 bottles. Early vintages from new distilleries often become sought after once the house later finds its form.

  Did you know?

  Dalmunach is built on the site of the Imperial distillery, demolished in 2013. The still house is laid out so that the eight pot stills stand in a formation meant to recall a sheaf of barley — an architectural nod to the grain the whole business rests on.

  Dalmunach 2016/2023 Coopers Choice 7 years old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58.5%

  Item no.: 059763-615-598

  Pedro Ximénez is the sweetest sherry there is — so sweet the grapes are dried in the sun first. Laid over seven years of young Speyside spirit, the result turns dark well ahead of time.

  Expert description

  Dalmunach 2016/2023 Coopers Choice 7 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at cask strength of 58.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The whisky was distilled in April 2016 and bottled in 2023 from cask number 1145, with an outturn of 396 bottles. The release belongs to the Cooper's Choice range from The Vintage Malt Whisky Company in Glasgow. Dalmunach opened in 2015 and is still so new that every bottling helps draw the picture of what the house style actually is.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark and syrupy. Raisin, date and fig, with dark chocolate, coffee and a young, cereal freshness underneath.

  Palate

  Dense and sweet. Caramelised sugar, dried fruit and cocoa, with a peppery warmth from the cask strength. The PX cask dominates, but the young spirit pushes back with cereal and malt.

  Finish

  Long and sweet, with raisin, dark chocolate and a dry spiced close.

  Investment potential

  Medium. A single cask in 396 bottles from a distillery with few releases behind it. Early vintages from new houses tend to become interesting later.

  Did you know?

  Pedro Ximénez grapes are laid out to dry in the sun before pressing, which is why the sherry turns almost syrupy. A PX cask gives more sweetness and darker fruit than oloroso — but also less of the dry nutty edge.

  Dalmunach 2016/2024 Coopers Choice 8 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57,5%

  Item no.: 059763-615-5990

  Marsala comes from Sicily and is almost never used for whisky. That is exactly why a bottler like Cooper's Choice tries it — and why the bottle tastes unlike its neighbour on the shelf.

  Expert description

  Dalmunach 2016/2024 Coopers Choice 8 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak with a final finish in Marsala wine casks and bottled at cask strength of 57.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The whisky was distilled in April 2016 and bottled in 2024, with an outturn of 324 bottles. Marsala is a Sicilian fortified wine, far less used in whisky than sherry and port — it gives a nutty, lightly bitter fruit character unlike anything else. Dalmunach opened in 2015 and is among Scotland's youngest distilleries.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Nuts and dried fruit first. Apricot, almond and orange peel, with a warm spiced note and young, cereal freshness underneath.

  Palate

  Full and lightly bitter in the good sense. Nuts, dried apricot and caramel, with a dry fruit edge from the Marsala cask and a peppery warmth from the strength.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with nuts, spice and a faintly bitter fruit close.

  Investment potential

  Medium. An unusual cask type in 324 bottles from a young distillery. Marsala finishes are rare enough to be remembered.

  Did you know?

  Marsala was originally created by an English merchant in the 1770s, who added alcohol to Sicilian wine so it would survive the voyage home. The same trick as port and Madeira — and the three cask types behave in related ways in whisky.

  Dalmunach 7 years old Murray McDavid PX Sherry Finish Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48.5%

  Item no.: 22227865364-354657

  Ximénez-Spinola is a small sherry house in Jerez working only with the Pedro Ximénez grape. Their casks rarely end up in whisky — but when they do, you can taste it.

  Expert description

  Dalmunach 7 years Murray McDavid PX Sherry Finish is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in Ximénez-Spinola PX casks and bottled at 48.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The release belongs to Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series and was made in 2,062 bottles. Murray McDavid was founded in 1996 and has made cask finishing its signature — the house buys casks from named wine and sherry producers rather than settling for generic sherry wood. Dalmunach opened in 2015, so everything that exists from the distillery is young.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark and sweet. Raisin, date and dark chocolate, with a layer of young malt and cereal under the concentrated fruit.

  Palate

  Round and syrupy. Dried fruit, caramel and cocoa, with a lightly spiced edge from the oak. The 48.5% keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

  Finish

  Medium and sweet, with raisin, nuts and a dry spiced close.

  Did you know?

  Murray McDavid names the sherry and wine houses their casks come from. It sounds like a detail, but it is rare in the trade — most simply write sherry cask and leave the customer to guess at the quality.
