If you’re looking for long-aged, limited-edition single-malt Scotch whiskies to add to your collection, a good place to start is The Dalmore. This iconic brand has myriad exclusive releases perfect for collectors and luxury whisky drinkers alike. Its newest releases are a partnership with one of the world’s best winemakers.

It’s called the Dalmore Cask Curation Series Port Edition, and as its name suggests, it’s the second release in partnership with Portugal’s Symington Family Estates. The iconic winemakers gave The Dalmore exclusive access to its rarest Graham’s Port casks to finish these single-malt whiskies.

The best part? This isn’t just one whisky release. The Dalmore is actually releasing three limited-edition expressions. The first is a 27-year-old single-malt whisky that was finished in Graham’s 1997 Single Harvest Tawny Port casks. The second is a 30-year-old single-malt whisky finished in Graham’s 1994 Single Harvest Tawny Port casks. The last expression is a 43-year-old single-malt whisky finished in Graham’s 1952 Single Harvest Tawny Port casks.

Each expression is non-chill filtered, features natural color, and comes in the famous bottle The Dalmore is known for in a bespoke leather-finished travel case handmade in Florence, Italy.

Bib & Tucker has made a name for itself in the last few years with small-batch whiskeys. This popular brand proves you can find more than Jack Daniel’s in Tennessee thanks to its flavorful, complex, award-winning whiskeys. While you can’t go wrong with any of its core lineup, it also has a following thanks to its special release expressions. Recently, the brand launched a limited-release 15-year-old bourbon.

It’s called Bib & Tucker The Golden Spike 15-Year-Old Bourbon, and it’s an extremely rare bourbon that will be bottled once and only once. If you don’t get your hands on a bottle now, you probably never will.

The best cask strength bourbons to drink this fall
Cask strength bourbons are sure to warm you up this fall
Whiskey

Right now, the weather in much of the US is fairly warm and sunny, but autumn is not far away. With it comes shorter days and colder nights. This means that drinkers are going to reach for something darker, more complex, and effortlessly warming. For us, this means cask strength bourbons.

A popular bourbon style among enthusiasts, cask strength (or barrel proof or barrel strength) whiskey is bottled directly from the casks. Normally, distillers proof down the whiskey to 80-proof using water. This is not done with cask strength (hence the name). Often uncut, and non-chilled filtered, cask strength whiskeys range between 50-75% ABV.

Planteray Rum releases its oldest expression ever
This rum has been aging since 1984
Maison Ferrand

Planteray Rum (formerly Plantation) is well-known for its award-winning, long-matured rums. But none of its previous expressions compare to Planteray Jamaica 1984 Rum. That’s because this rum began aging the year the first Police Academy, Sixteen Candles, and Amadeus were in theaters. It’s forty years old, making it the oldest expression ever released by Planteray Rum.

To say that this is a limited-release expression is a major understatement. Limited to only one barrel, Planteray is only releasing 317 bottles of this soon-to-be highly sought-after rum.
