Acclaimed whiskey brand, The Dalmore, is headed to Sotheby’s with a one-of-a-kind release that marries the worlds of spirits, art and design. “The Rare” is a 49-year-old Highland Single Malt Whiskey encased in a striking amber glass sculpture designed by Melodie Leung, a director at Zaha Hadid Architects.
First unveiled in March as part of The Dalmore’s Luminary Series, the “Luminary No.2 The Rare” is expected to fetch six-figures at auction, with The Dalmore donating all proceeds to V&A Dundee.
A true collector’s piece for both whiskey aficionados and art connoisseurs alike, the collaboration offers one of The Dalmore’s finest spirits — a 49-year-old single malt that has been matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks and finished in an assemblage, that includes a rare Port Colheita Pipe 1963, a 30-year-old Apostoles Sherry Cask and hand-selected bourbon barrels.
