"The Red Wine Cask Edition is the third edition of The Dalmore's cask-focused series. These bottles, aged 24, 34 and 43 years, were initially matured in ex-bourbon and Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks and then finished in 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine casks from Château Mont-Redon. Located in the Rhone Wine Region in the Southeast of France, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is highly regarded and produces wines that are characterized as "rich and plummy," according to the distillery (with some secondary savory notes)."
""This is a series that was created to celebrate our unique partnerships and collaborations with wineries and bodegas around the world," says Craig Bridger, a VP of Sales and Advocacy for Whyte & Mackay (The Dalmore's parent company), who guided my tasting. "It's about highlighting these partnerships; in many instances, barrels from these places won't go to any other distillery, except for The Dalmore.""
The Dalmore Red Wine Cask Edition comprises three age statements: 24, 34 and 43 years. Each expression was initially matured in ex-bourbon and Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks before being finished in 2023 Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape red wine casks. Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines from the Rhône region are described as rich, plummy and bearing some savory notes, which influence the whiskies. All three bottles bottle at roughly 40–41% ABV. The release emphasizes exclusive partnerships with wineries and focuses on how extended aging and a common wine-cask finish shape evolving flavor and tannic structure.
