The Dalmore - Constellation 1971 Cask 2

The charm and elegance of this whisky can be attributed to one thing-the cask. This specially selected wood was drawn from the Ozark Range in Missouri. The staves were cut and left to season for three years before the Master Cooper handcrafted them into a perfect cask and 'fired' the wood to release the natural caramelised wood sugars and vanilla. The cask was then filled with the finest bourbon whisky in Kentucky. Three years later the empty cask was hand selected by Master Distiller, Richard Paterson, and shipped to The Dalmore distillery. The rich and complex spirit taken from the large bulbous stills at The Dalmore was laid to rest in the cask for 40 years.
