A Quarter Century in Extraordinary Wood
The 25 is where The Dalmore's wood philosophy reaches its apex: a quarter century is long enough for the spirit to drink deep of the sherry and port woods, and the 30-year-old Matusalem casks — previously holding some of Jerez's most treasured oloroso — are among the oldest working casks in Scotch.

How to Enjoy
This is a contemplative pour — neat, at room temperature, in a tulip glass, with nothing but time. Water is optional; many collectors keep it entirely untouched.
