Dalmore's Luminary series, Collector range. A confusing release: for each Luminary (1, 2 or 3), there was a Collector version and a Rare version. The Rares were indeed very rare and came with an impressive age statement in a decanter-style bottle and presented in a specially designed display case. The Collectors have a more modest age statement but sport some uncommon cask combinations both from maturation as well as finishing. Each whisky was created under the supervision of Master Distiller Richard Paterson and Gregg Glass, Dalmore’s Master Whisky Maker. As for the Luminary part of the equation, Dalmore teamed up with some top architectural houses to create the various presentation cases.

The first iteration of the Collectibles is 15 years old and was matured in American white oak, then finished in a mix of Italian Amarone casks and bespoke casks made from Scottish Tay oak, Japanese Mizunara oak, and American white oak. The design input was tied to Kengo Kuma and Maurizio Mucciola, echoing the first Rare’s sculptural design. Expect a thick, nutty sweetness with a strongly spiced and dried fruit and citrus-led expression. Reportedly around 15,000 bottles released globally. 46.8% Alc./Vol.
