The 2024 Portfolio Series Designer - Fraser Gray
Our 2024 design talent Fraser Gray is an Edinburgh-based visual artist recognised for his striking use of colour and for pushing boundaries with large scale street art.
Gray's specially commissioned abstract packaging design for The Portfolio Series depicts unusual angles taken from the architecture of the Dalmore distillery. The bold colour palette is a personal response to the flavours discovered whilst tasting the three whiskies.
The Making of a Masterpiece – The Portfolio Series
For over 180 years, The Dalmore has set the standard in multi-cask maturation - combining their carefully composed spirit with hand-selected casks from the world’s finest bodegas and wineries.
For The Portfolio Series, the whisky makers sought out a selection of rare cask finishes. The three single malt whiskies have been finessed in the finest Bordeaux casks sourced from some of the region's revered Chateau vineyards. Explore each whisky in detail below.
