The Dalmore "Luminary No. 2" 2024 Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
(Highland, Scotland) - [WA 93]

About the Whisky:
Our Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass collaborated with Melodie Leung of Zaha Hadid Architects to conceive this limited edition release. Matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, the single malt is finished in Graham’s Tawny Port pipes and 30 year old Apostoles Sherry casks, with the lightest touch of exceptionally rare peated Dalmore.

Each bottle is housed in a stunning contemporary presentation case, evoking a bird's eye perspective of The Luminary No.2 Rare sculpture, similar to a vortex. Inspired by the whisky stills, the design is rich with texture and warm copper colours – a beautiful way to display the bottle.

Ratings & Reviews

93 Points - Whisky Advocate

"Aged in bourbon casks, with secondary maturation in tawny port pipes and Apostoles sherry casks. The liquid includes some rare peated Dalmore. The nose offers candied lemon, dried earthiness, and accents of woodsmoke. Smooth and honey-textured on the palate with balanced pepper spice, more woodsmoke, sweet lemon, and smoked meat flavors. The sweet finish offers melted caramel, black cherry, and lemon. A whisky of pronounced flavors—nothing subtle and all work well together."
