Now available at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol: Dalmore whisky from 1926

Special whisky with 121 cut Gassan Diamond in Departure Lounge 3

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is now offering a very special whisky: the Dalmore Brilliance Vintage 1926. Only one bottle of this unique whisky was ever made. The bottle comes with a 1.83 carat diamond stopper from Gassan Diamonds. The bottle, including the diamond stopper, is available from the Finest Spirits and Cigars store in Departure Lounge 3 for € 250,000 – not including VAT.

Containing ancient spirits, distilled and filled to cask in 1868, 1878 and 1926, this one of a kind, single piece is available exclusively at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The decanter, made from hand-blown crystal, is decorated with a solid silver collar, a pure platinum age signifier inspired by the art deco movement, and a solid platinum version of The Dalmore’s stag. The stopper of the decanter will incorporate a € 40,000 Gassan 121 cut diamond. The Gassan 121 cut diamond used in this exclusive stopper has a G colour, a clarity of VS2 and weighs 1.83 crt. The buyer will have the opportunity to use the diamond to create a unique piece of personal jewellery created by Gassan as part of the asking price. The bottle is presented in a hand-made rosewood casing.
