The Dalmore has released the latest expression in its Distillery Select Series, a 14-year-old Highland single malt finished in Semisecco Marsala casks. The limited-edition whisky will go on general release on 31 August 2026, priced at £350, with just 1,110 bottles available.
The Distillery Select Series, which debuted in 2024, showcases small parcels of stock hand-selected from The Dalmore’s dunnage warehouses. For the 2026 edition, The Dalmore said its whisky makers aimed to select a spirit that revealed “a different dimension” of the distillery’s flavor profile while remaining rooted in the house style.
The whisky was matured initially in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. It was then finished for one year and nine months in Semisecco Marsala casks.

The single malt is bottled at 53.7% ABV, non-chill filtered and of natural color. According to the official notes from the brand, the aroma offers “floral overtones with sweet clementine, stoned fruits, honeyed malt, and a hint of grape must and spiced vanilla.” On the palate, the whisky reveals “candied orange peel, sweet pear, toffee, brioche, with subtle hints of walnuts, clove, and cinnamon.” The finish is described as “sweet citrus and rich oak, and a fading memory of festive spice.”
The Dalmore said the Series was created to give whisky enthusiasts “a closer view” of the distillery’s whisky-making credentials.
