Sculpted and crafted by Richard Paterson, Whyte & Mackay’s iconic master blender, the 35, 40 and 45 year old Dalmores could not find a better setting than this outstanding cigar box created by the luxury woodworker Elie Bleu, whose marquetry work has, since 1976, reflected the purist tradition of 18th century craftsmanship. Overflowing with fruit, deliciously honeyed, nobly spicy and preciously woody, each of these venerable bottlings magnificently recreates every great feature of this grand cru from the north of Scotland. They are also a wonderful pretext for a timeless journey in which past, present and future come together as one.
