Dalmore - Candela 50 Year Old
“Candela is the international unit for the measurement of the intensity of light. It defines brilliance. So it seemed appropriate to name one of our brightest creations after this international standard.

A very limited edition Dalmore, Candela has been created by master blender Richard Paterson from very old vintage stocks, with the youngest from 1951 and the oldest going all the way back to 1868. Just 77 bottles of this have been released.
Price: £7,500.00
4 bottles left in Global market.

Instead, the Shackleton malt was elegant and light — like a beautiful woman, Paterson said. He nosed the glass again. “This is a whisky with great charm, just like Shackleton, a great shagger of the ladies! He was a great man, but there was a soft side to him.”
