Founded in 2015 by Chivas Brothers, Dalmunach Distillery lies near Carron in Speyside. Built on the site of the former Imperial Distillery, Dalmunach incorporates materials from its predecessor while drawing inspiration from aspects of its design. The distillery's architecture echoes the form of bundled barley, while its spirit stills take inspiration from those once used at Imperial Distillery. Built to produce up to 10 million litres of spirit annually, Dalmunach operates on a scale uncommon among Speyside malt distilleries.
The spirit is known for its fruit led character, with bright fruit and citrus notes amongst its defining characteristics. Although much of its production is destined for blends, Dalmunach has increasingly appeared through independent bottlings. Rare Find is drawn to the fruit driven style, which performs well across a range of cask types. Ex-bourbon maturation can bring fruit and citrus notes to the fore, while sherry and wine casks can contribute additional richness and complexity.
