Aged in American white oak barrels previously used for Bourbon, then refined in Graham's Tawny Port vessels and Apostoles Sherry Barrels, and accented with a subtle hint of exceptionally uncommon peated Dalmore, this release sees a worldwide availability of 20,000 bottles for the Luminary No.2 – 2024 Edition.
The Dalmore Luminary 2024 Edition marks the second installment in an exclusive triad of Rare and Collectible whisky editions, forged in collaboration with the V&A Dundee. This collection aims to honor notable figures in the realms of whisky crafting and architectural innovation. For this unique endeavor, celebrated architect Melodie Leung from Zaha Hadid Architects and The Dalmore's Gregg Glass have merged their expertise to produce limited edition masterpieces, each a reflection of the whisky's taste profile intertwined with visionary design.
