Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Exclusively Bottled For Whisky-Online 70cl / 55.4%
We are super-stoked to finally get our hands on our very own exclusive Octave cask of Dalmunach 2016! Only a handful of casks from Chivas Brothers' mega-distillery Dalmunach in Speyside have been released so far, so this is a real treat.
We sourced this exclusive Dalmunach from Duncan Taylor, who have a small amount of Dalmunach casks that they've been reracking into sherry octaves - tiny sherry barrels made by splitting a bit 500 litre sherry butt into eight smaller casks.
Octave casks typically only hold around 50-60 litres each, and while they impart delicious sherry flavours there's never many bottles yielded because of this small size.
Whisky-Online’s Dalmunach 2016 started life in an American standard barrel before being reracked by Duncan Taylor into a first fill Oloroso sherry octave for the last three months of its maturation. Dalmunach 2016 Octave Cask #10825703 was bottled in August 2021 as a 5-year-old at its natural strength of 55.4%, with just 81 bottles yielded from the cask.
