The Dalmore, a renowned Scottish whisky house, announces the arrival of its 18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky in Indonesia. Recognized for its craftsmanship and rich character, this limited-release expression reflects the heritage and expertise of the Highland distillery. The Dalmore has pioneered whisky-making techniques that set it apart, including its multi-cask maturation process, where whisky is aged in different casks to develop unique flavors. One of its most celebrated expressions is The Dalmore 18, first introduced in 2009. Evolving with changing tastes, it is released annually in limited quantities, maintaining its reputation as a sophisticated and well-balanced whisky.
Master whisky maker Gregg Glass describes The Dalmore 18 as the “epitome of our house style.” The whisky presents inviting aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate, and liquorice, followed by layers of chocolate, raisins, citrus fruits, coffee, and spice on the palate. The Dalmore 18 undergoes a distinctive aging process, beginning in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before finishing in rare 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks. This method is unique to The Dalmore, as it holds exclusive rights to use these rare casks, thanks to its long-standing partnership with Gonzales Byass.
With a growing interest in fine spirits in Indonesia, The Dalmore sees the country as an ideal market for this prestigious whisky. According to George Schulze, The Dalmore Resident Whisky Expert for Asia, “Indonesia’s appreciation for fine spirits is rising rapidly, and we are proud to introduce The Dalmore 18 to a market that truly values craftsmanship and heritage. With its rich layers of flavor and exceptional depth, we believe this distinguished single malt will resonate with the discerning palates of Indonesian whisky lovers.”
The Dalmore 18 embodies three key elements of the brand’s whisky-making philosophy. It carries the signature rich, dark chocolate profile that defines The Dalmore’s house style, is enhanced by maturation in some of the world’s most exclusive sherry casks, and offers a depth and elegance that make it a benchmark among fine single malts. Now available in Indonesia, The Dalmore 18 is featured at select fine establishments, offering whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to experience its distinctive craftsmanship and rich complexity.
