Luminary N°3 is the fruit of a collaboration between Whisky Makers Gregg Glass and Richard Paterson OBE, and architect Ben Dobbin (Foster + Partners), behind iconic projects such as Apple Park in California. This 17-year-old Single Malt embodies the meeting of technical precision and artistic inspiration.
After an initial ageing in ex-bourbon casks, Luminary N°3 has benefited from exceptional maturation in a selection of seven rare casks: Calvados, Calvados Vintage 1989 and 1999, Xérès Matusalem, Xérès Apostoles, red wine casks from Bordeaux and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A rich, complex blend reflecting The Dalmore's mastery and elegance.
This third and final chapter in the Luminary collection pays tribute to the value of time, the nobility of materials and creative heritage.

The Dalmore is a legendary Highland distillery, founded in 1839 by Sir Alexander Matheson on the Cromarty Firth at Black Isle (“big meadow” in Gaelic) . Now owned by Whyte & Mackay, it’s famous for multi-stage maturation—first in bourbon casks, then finished in rare sherry casks hand-selected by Richard Paterson and Gregg Glass .
