The last time something of this calibre went on auction, it sold for 1 million pounds
Meet The Dalmore Decades: a six-bottle collection of ultra-rare blends spanning six decades. Demonstrating the craftsmanship of The Dalmore’s whisky, each decanter in this set tells its owner the story of this revered house and their relentless pursuit of excellence. The No. 6 Collection—will be auctioned off by Sotheby’s in Hong Kong this October 2021 where only one person will be able to own it. To make the lot even more special, a significant percentage of the sale will be donated to Scotland’s design museum and the first V&A Museum outside of London, V&A Dundee.
In fact, The Dalmore recently unveiled its long-term commitment to the arts with its four-year partnership with V&A Dundee. In a world-first collaboration, The Dalmore is working with Scotland’s design museum to champion and nurture creative talent, further underscoring its dedication to artistry.

During a private Zoom event to reveal The Dalmore Decades, the brand’s master distiller Richard Paterson (who has been on a mission over the last 50 years to push the boundaries in whisky production) spoke emphatically about The Dalmore Decades.
“Over the past 50 years, I have kept a watchful eye over our superlative inventory of rare whiskies, giving them the guidance to mature and reach their full potential in the finest casks sourced from around the world. Each bottle marks a very special milestone in the brand’s history and has a unique story to tell, which I hope the lucky collector will enjoy with those closest to them – if the last year has taught us anything, it is that life is to be enjoyed now,” he said.
Gushing over each bottle, he could not contain his passion. Patterson said to remember that “every whisky is nurtured by time and that it takes time to become a masterpiece.”
