If The Dalmore continues its current pattern of releases, we can expect the series to be rounded off with a 50 Year Old expression, and perhaps a 17 Year Old ‘Collectible’ in 2025 or 2026. Richard Paterson OBE, one of the foremost figures in the scotch whisky industry, is sure to have a hand in the creation of the expressions.
