Description
Introducing The Dalmore Luminary Series
A unique three part series of rare and limited edition single malts created by exceptional luminaries from the worlds of whisky and architectural design, curated in partnership with V&A Dundee, Scotland’s design museum.
Luminary No.1 – 2022 Edition
A shared passion for natural materials, rarity and collective artistry is at the heart of the first limited edition release of The Luminary Series.
Co-conceived by globally-acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma, designer of V&A Dundee and his protégé Maurizio Mucciola, in hand with Master Distiller, Richard Paterson OBE and Master Whisky Maker, Gregg Glass.
With a collective ambition to push boundaries to realise their potential, inspired by the interplay of light and nature, and the potential which lies within natural materials and ingredients. Together they have created two very special single malts, The Rare & The Collectible.
15 Year Old
Non-chill filtered, Natural colour, 46.8% ABV
Created by Mucciola and Glass, The Collectible, of which there are 15,000 bottles, begins its journey in American white oak and is finished in hand selected Italian Amarone red wine casks and bespoke ‘Kintsugi’ casks. Crafted specifically for this Limited Edition and made from Scottish Tay Oak, Japanese Mizunara Oak and American White Oak – as a nod to the heritage of each Luminary.
Our innovative 15 Year Old Single Malt echoes its Rare partner in design, spotlighting Glass’s passion for wood and flavour, and held in a presentation box designed by Kuma-san’s protégé Maurizio Mucciola. Using a palette of strong earth tones, Mucciola’s beautiful contemporary casing with geometric design celebrates the relationship between whisky and nature and the importance of channelling potential with material components.
