The Dalmore Decades No. 5 is an impressive collection of five single malts, released in celebration of the distillery’s relentless pursuit of excellence through six decades (1967, 1979, 1980, 1995 and 2000). Each decanter features a unique and distinctive coloured stopper, and each bottle is engraved with an exclusive set number. Only 15 sets of this collection have been produced.
 
The Dalmore Decades 1995 is a beautiful expression, matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in grand Tintilla de Rota port pipes. On the palate, the single malt brings through notes of red berries, glazed nectarines and frangipane, which builds to a triumphal finish. 

This year, Cloudy Bay has released two wonderful expressions—the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc and 2019 Te Koko.
 
An exceptional vintage, the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is expressive, vibrant and intense. It teases the nose with aromas of makrut lime leaf, grapefruit and passionfruit. These are layered with
Bright notes of kaffir lime and lemongrass. The tropical theme echoes through the palate—crisp and refreshing.
 
The Te Koko 2019 features fruit sourced from six of Cloudy Bay’s Sauvignon Blanc vineyards (within the Rapaura, Brancot and Renwick sub-regions). It opens with a bouquet of stone fruit and citrus, interspersed with subtle oak and wood spice. Taste-wise, its sweetness is enriched with touches of mandarin orange, unripe peach, and cardamom. A long and rich finish draws this complex wine together.
