The Dalmore launches New Cask Curation Series
The Dalmore has launched its Cask Curation Series Port Edition, a limited-edition triple malt aged in Symington port barrels.
This collection is the second installment of the Dalmore Cask Curation Series, which celebrates The Dalmore’s “artistic vision and the role of casks sourced from the finest winemakers around the world”.
“The life a cask has led is fundamental to the potential it represents to the whisky-maker, which is why The Dalmore whisky makers curate exquisite casks sourced from the world’s finest wineries and bodegas.”
The port-finished whisky has been released by The Dalmore before, but this time it was created in collaboration with Symington Family Estates. The company gave The Dalmore access to rare Graham’s Port casks.

As a result of Graham’s Port’s unique influence, rich fruits, and dark chocolate notes are imparted, the brand said, and together, the trio highlights the flavor potential of Graham’s Port wine casks, nurturing them “for decades under the watchful eye of its winemakers”.
The collection comprises three whiskies:
- The Dalmore Cask Curation Port Edition 43 Year Old, – finished in Graham’s 1952 Single Harvest Tawny Port casks;
- The Dalmore Cask Curation Port Edition 30 Year Old, finished in Graham’s 1994 Single Harvest Tawny Port casks; and
- The Dalmore Cask Curation Port Edition 27 Year Old, finished in Graham’s 1997 Single Harvest Tawny Port casks.
Presented in a hand-made green leather-finish travel case, only 150 sets of the Cask Curation series The Port Edition are available.
