Case Study
The Dalmore
The Dalmore is a luxury whisky brand owned by Whyte & Mackay. The distillery is located north of Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands.
Luxury Acrylic Packaging for a Premium Whisky Brand
When a world-renowned Scotch whisky brand required presentation packaging worthy of its reputation, Midton was selected to create a bespoke acrylic solution for The Dalmore.
Known for exceptional craftsmanship and luxury positioning, The Dalmore needed a presentation case that delivered impact, precision and premium presence.
The Challenge
Standard packaging was not suitable for a brand of this level. The project required a case that would:
- Reflect the premium quality of the whisky
- Protect the bottle securely
- Deliver a luxury unboxing experience
- Maintain flawless finish standards
- Be repeatable across production runs
Midton’s Solution
Midton designed and manufactured a custom cast acrylic presentation case engineered around the iconic Dalmore bottle shape.
Using specialist moulding, CNC machining and hand-finishing processes, we created a display case with exceptional clarity, precision and weight.
Features included:
- High-end retail presence
- Premium grade cast acrylic
- Bespoke fitted bottle housing
- Luxury polished finish
- Strong, durable construction
