The Dalmore Single Malt Scotch Select Edition 2006 Whiskey
The Dalmore Single Malt Scotch Select Edition 2006 Whiskey
The Dalmore Select Edition 2006 is a distinguished release from The Dalmore's prestigious Vintages Collection. This limited edition, aged 18 years, is the result of meticulous cask selection, showcasing The Dalmore’s signature craftsmanship. The whisky undergoes an initial maturation in first-fill American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before being finished in two exquisite Sherry casks: 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso and 30-year-old Amoroso Sherry casks. This unique aging process imparts a complex and luxurious flavor profile that combines the best elements of deep, dark fruits and rich, warming spices, creating an unforgettable whisky experience.
This non-chill filtered whisky is naturally colored, preserving all the character and depth of the casks that shaped it. With each sip, you are invited into a world of decadent layers, where each note—whether it’s the Sherry-soaked raisins, the roasted figs, or the dark chocolate finish—reveals the care and precision invested in its creation. The Dalmore Select Edition 2006 is a true celebration of The Dalmore’s legacy and their commitment to excellence.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the whisky lover who reads cask details aloud. Aged 18 years, it begins in first-fill American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before finishing in two 30-year-old sherry casks, Matusalem Oloroso and Amoroso, and that layering shows in every sip: sherry-soaked raisins, roasted figs and cedar on the nose, then blackberry, plum, liquorice and cacao, brightened by bergamot and blood orange. The finish runs long with antique sherry, cassia bark and dark chocolate. It is non-chill filtered and naturally colored, a detail collectors will notice, and it comes from The Dalmore's Vintages Collection as a limited edition, with the house stag emblem on the bottle. Give it to mark a milestone birthday, a retirement or a hard-won promotion, or to someone building a serious Highland shelf. The recipient will get the most from it poured neat in a tulip glass, perhaps with a single large ice cube, and ideally shared slowly alongside dark chocolate cake or a spiced fruit tart.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate cake — The cacao on the palate and dark chocolate on the finish echo the cake's richness.
- Spiced fruit tart — Roasted fig, raisin and cassia bark notes mirror the tart's dried fruit and warm spice.
- Retirement or promotion celebration — Its long, layered finish of sherry, berries and chocolate suits a slow toast to a hard-earned achievement.
