Tri Carragh - Dalrymple 10-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch

This exceptional release from Tri Carragh showcases the sherry-forward character of Dalrymple, a Lowland distillery renowned for its rich and balanced single malts. Distilled on April 15, 2013, this whisky was reracked into a 1st fill oloroso in May 2021 to heighten its sherry influence. At 59.3% ABV, this "sherry bomb" delivers a bold yet harmonious profile, balancing intense dark fruits with spices and sweetness. With only 330 bottles produced, this is a rare opportunity to savor a whisky that embodies the artistry of sherry cask maturation.

Distillery Highlight

Located in the Lowlands, Dalrymple is celebrated for its approachability and refinement, producing whiskies that are lighter on the palate while still offering depth and complexity. Its dedication to sherry cask maturation has earned it a reputation for crafting whiskies with exceptional balance and richness. Dalrymple’s distinctively smooth character is elevated in this release, where the influence of Oloroso sherry casks takes center stage, resulting in a whisky of extraordinary complexity and charm.

Cask Influence

Finished in a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead, this whisky exemplifies the bold richness of sherry cask maturation. The cask imparts an indulgent array of dark fruits—blackberries, raisins, and plums—along with complementary layers of toffee, chocolate, and warm spices. The extended rerack period allowed the sherry's complexity to fully integrate with Dalrymple’s smooth, approachable spirit, resulting in a robust yet balanced dram.
