LONDON, 20 October 2022 – Launched in September, as part of a unique partnership between The Dalmore and V&A Dundee, The Luminary No.1 The Rare comprises a 48 Year Old Single Malt whisky housed in a striking sculpture designed by Kengo Kuma, the museum’s globally acclaimed architect. Made of 48 hand-crafted diamond-shaped particles of Scottish Oak, Japanese Oak and polished metal to represent the number of years the whisky was nurtured by Master Distiller Richard Paterson OBE, the concept originated from a quest to discover a point of convergence between the complex skills of design and whisky-making.
