Hotel Okura Tokyo, a symbol of luxury since 1962, celebrates its 62nd anniversary with The Dalmore whisky, epitomizing excellence. The whisky, dubbed the "Emerald", reflects the hotel's rich history and rebirth after its 2019 reopening.
Significance of Emerald
Emerald, May's birthstone, signifies rebirth and prosperity, mirroring Okura's transformation and The Dalmore’s commitment to tradition.
Regal Heritage and Elegance
The Dalmore’s royal heritage, signified by the 12-point stag bestowed upon the distillery in 1263 by the King of Scotland, adds a layer of regal splendor. This emblem of nobility and distinction parallels the prestigious legacy of The Okura Tokyo. Just as the hotel has been a beacon of luxurious hospitality, the Dalmore has been a symbol of exceptional whisky-making for over 150 years. This shared legacy of excellence and refinement makes the Dalmore a natural choice to commemorate such a significant anniversary.
Art of Multi-Cask Maturation
The Dalmore's renowned artistry in whisky production is a testament to its commitment to quality.
What makes the Dalmore Emerald unique is this comes from a cask specially hand-picked from among the collection of rare casks by Mr. Gregg Glass, The Dalmore Master Whisky Maker and Master Distiller of the Year at the
Icons of Whisky Scotland Awards 2023 in honor of Okura’s momentous milestone.
The Dalmore Emerald whisky is initially matured in specially selected American white oak ex-bourbon casks and then finished in a variety of aged Sherry casks, including Apostoles, Amoroso, and Matusalem Oloroso. This meticulous process results in a whisky with unparalleled depth and complexity. The aroma of Seville orange and subtle winter spice, combined with a palate of sweet orange, creamy caramel, and fresh ginger, culminates in finishing notes of dark chocolate orange and gentle wood spice. This intricate layering of flavors mirrors the sophisticated blend of traditional Japanese beauty and Western functionality that defines The Okura Tokyo.
Global Celebration of Excellence
Both Okura and The Dalmore blend tradition with innovation. The hotel's philosophy of excellence in accommodation, cuisine, and service is mirrored in The Dalmore’s legendary whisky.
The Dalmore Emerald is a tribute to Okura’s 62 years of hospitality. Its heritage and craftsmanship symbolize the hotel’s legacy and future, celebrating enduring excellence.
The Dalmore Emerald Okura 62nd Anniversary Bottle is presented in a bespoke rich dark shade of emerald box. This masterpiece will be exclusively available at Hotel Okura Manila starting December 2024 for PHP 63,000 ++ per bottle. It has an ABV of 40%, specially crafted by our Master Distiller, Mr. Gregg Glass to commemorate Hotel Okura’s milestone.

Our Master Whisky Maker
Mr. Gregg Glass
Master Whisky Maker and Blender, The Dalmore
Gregg Glass has been awarded The Master Distiller of the Year at the 2023 Icons of Whisky awards. He has more than ten years’ experience as a whisky maker and blender, and joined Whyte & Mackay in 2016. A hands-on whisky maker & blender, he is already known for innovation and quality, helping Compass Box grow from its early days to becoming the award-winning brand it is today.
Gregg Glass started his whisky career at the age of 18, and has spent much of his life working in the industry. Originally from the Black Isle, which is abundant in barley, Gregg has always harbored a keen passion for whisky, alongside cooking and great quality drinks; and has spent years studying brewing, distilling, and flavor combinations.
After getting his start as a tour guide at distilleries in the Highlands, Gregg has worked his way up through many areas and roles within the industry before specializing in whisky making.
Gregg credits Whyte & Mackay’s own Richard Paterson with sparking his interest in whisky and cementing his ambition to become a whisky maker after first seeing him in action sampling in the cask warehouse during a two-week stint at The Dalmore’s Visitor Centre.
He relishes getting his hands dirty; sourcing and creating casks, working at cooperages, distilleries and cask warehouses, cask sampling and conducting extensive trials and recipe iterations in a bid for perfection.
Along with a healthy respect for tradition and the historical, social, and cultural aspects of the Scotch whisky industry, Gregg believes in the importance of an inquisitive, experimental and innovative outlook, with quality at the forefront. He looks forward to bringing great and interesting whiskies expressions to as many people as possible.
