Dalmore launches 33-year-old as NFT
Highland single malt The Dalmore is selling a cask of 33-year-old Scotch whisky as 223 NFT bottles.
By Melita Kiely The Dalmore 33 Years Old whisky sits at 51% ABV. Tasting notes include cassis, blackberries, citrus, marzipan, liquorice and soft spices. The Dalmore has partnered with Block Bar to release 223 NFTs of its 33-year-old single malt – marking the first time The Dalmore has sold an entire cask exclusively via blockbar.com. On Tuesday 29 March, the first 10 bottles of The Dalmore 33 Years Old will be available to existing Block Bar NFT holders via a lottery on blockbar.com. Each bottle will be priced at US$8,800. The 10 buyers will be invited on an exclusive VIP experience at the Highland distillery, which will include paid-for flights. Pre-sale registration, also called the blocklist, for the remaining 213 bottles will open on 30 March for 48 hours, when the general public will be able to sign up ahead of the NFT release on 5 April. The cask will be bottled in early September, and the physical bottles will be ready to collect in late December 2022. Gerry Tosh, private client director, The Dalmore, said: “Following the success of our first NFT-backed bottle with Block Bar last November, we are pleased to exclusively release 223 bottles of this exceptional 33-year-old whisky. “The Dalmore offers some of Scotland’s most rare and precious whisky stocks, remarkable in their desirability to collectors, investors and drinkers alike and this bottle is no exception. “It takes artistry to craft each bottle of The Dalmore and so it is our pleasure to invite the first 10 buyers of this special single malt to experience the home of our whisky.”
