Dalmore Debuts The Portfolio Series 2025 at Travel Retail

The Dalmore has unveiled its 2025 Portfolio Series exclusively at Singapore’s Changi Airport, marking the Scottish distillery’s first pop-up at the travel retail hub with three limited-edition red wine cask-finished expressions

The luxury single malt collection debuts during peak travel season, coinciding with Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese Golden Week, and the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The month-long exclusive partnership with Lotte Duty Free runs through October 12, before the collection expands to other international airports.

Limited-Edition Dalmore Whisky

The Portfolio Series 2025 represents the second year of The Dalmore’s annual limited-edition program, created in partnership with Scotland’s V&A Dundee museum. This year’s collection features label designs by Gabriella Marcella, founder of RISOTTO, a Scottish risograph print studio.

The three-whiskey lineup includes Portfolio Series No.1, finished in Bordeaux wine casks with 3,595 bottles at $635 (£500); Portfolio Series No.2, aged in Châteauneuf-du-Pape casks with 1,596 bottles at $952.50 (£750); and Portfolio Series No.3, matured in select Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon casks with just 1,014 bottles at $1,270 (£1,000). Each expression is non-age statement, naturally colored, and non-chill filtered, with alcohol content ranging from 46% to 49.7% ABV.

The Dalmore describes the collection as demonstrating the distillery’s expertise in wine cask finishing, a technique the Highland producer has refined since its founding in 1839.

Luxury Whisky Experiences In Asia

The Changi Airport activation features The Dalmore’s signature art gallery retail concept, offering whisky tastings and luxury gift wrapping services at a dedicated pop-up in Terminal 1 Departures Transit. Digital advertising extends across all three terminals.

“We are proud to partner with Lotte Duty Free and Singapore Changi Airport as we bring Year 2 of The Dalmore Portfolio Series to travel retail,” said Janice McIntosh, Whyte & Mackay Marketing Director for Global Travel Retail.

The launch reflects growing demand for premium spirits in Asian travel retail markets, where luxury whiskey sales have shown resilience despite global economic uncertainties. Singapore Changi, consistently ranked among the world’s best airports, processes over 65 million passengers annually, making it a strategic location for luxury brands targeting affluent Asian travelers.
