The Dalmore Portfolio Series single malt whisky 2025

The Dalmore has kickstarted a brand-new chapter of The Portfolio Series. Once again, they have partnered with the V&A Dundee Design museum to blend art with whisky.

What is the Dalmore Portfolio Series 2025?
A triptych of Highland single malts, each finished in red wine casks.

Who designed the packaging?
Graphic artist Gabriella Marcella, renowned for her riso prints, in collaboration with V&A Dundee.

When and where will The Dalmore Portfolio Series 2025 be released?
From 1st September, exclusively at Singapore Changi Airport. From October it will be available in other international airports.

A Scottish whisky series blending art with divine drink

The Dalmore has established a recurring series, The Portfolio Series, that each time allows a new artist to take the stage. The Scottish distillery has bottled three distinct whiskies for whisky lovers, while a brand new artist worked on the packing. This time riso print artist Gabriella Marcella, founder of Risotto Studio, took charge of the design.

She was inspired by movement, time and the tartan of the Mackenzie clan. In doing so, the artist incorporated a nod to the Scottish distillery in the packaging.

'My approach was to honour the Mackenzie tartan’s heritage while reimagining it in ways that felt contemporary and in alignment with The Dalmore’s innovative spirit.'

- Gabriella Marcella
