The Dalmore

Founded in 1839. In 1867 Alexander Matheson decided it was time to pass on the distillery to new owners - Andrew and Charles Mackenzie. They brought with them not only the iconic 12-pointed Royal Stag emblem, which has adorned every bottle of The Dalmore since, but also a formidable desire for success. Their passion for creating an even better whisky would fuel a whole new era for The Dalmore.

The distillery is located on the banks of the Cromarty Firth, in Alness – 30 kilometres north of Inverness. Water is sourced from the Alness river. Their whisky is impossible to replicate due to an unconventional belief in the use of different stills, of various sizes and shapes, and their maturation process - where many expressions of The Dalmore are matured in two precious wooden casks: American white oak former Bourbon casks and exclusive aged Sherry casks from Gonzalez Byass.

At The Dalmore they are proud to push boundaries. Their fearlessness is evident in every single expression - from the bold creativity of King Alexander III, to the adventurousness of The Constellation Collection, and the individuality of The Paterson Collection.

THE DALMORE

12 Year Old

Matured for nine years in former Bourbon casks, the spirit is then divided – one half remains in the Bourbon barrels, while the other is transferred to exclusive 30 year old Gonzalez Byass Matusalem Oloroso Sherry butts before being reunited. Elegant, complex and rich on the palate with intense citrus and hints of sweet vanilla pod to finish.

THE DALMORE

15 Year Old

Matured for 12 years in American white oak former Bourbon casks. The whisky is then split equally between three different Sherry woods (Amoroso, Apostles and Matusalem Oloroso) for a further three years. Finally married together in an upstanding Sherry butt. On the palate: mandarin, vanilla and ginger with Christmas spice and oak on the finish.

THE DALMORE

18 Year Old

An evolution of The Dalmore house style. Matured initially for 14 years in American white oak former Bourbon casks, then transferred to 30 year old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry butts for a further four years. On the palate: dark chocolate, candied citrus fruits and rich coffee.

THE DALMORE

25 Year Old

Matured initially in American white oak, then carefully divided into rare 25 year old sweet Palomino Fino Sherry butts and 1980 first fill Bourbon casks. These exceptional whiskies are then expertly married together in Bourbon barrels before being transferred, for the final time into Tawny Port pipes from Portugal, for a totally unrivalled finish. On the palate: orange peel, chocolate truffles and liquorice.

THE DALMORE

Cigar Malt Reserve

Aged in American white oak former Bourbon casks, 30 year old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry butts and Premier Cru Cabernet wine barriques. Designed to be enjoyed with a good Havana. Tropical fruits, banana, toffee and vanilla ice cream on the palate. Rounding off with orange zest, bergamot and crushed spices on the finish.

THE DALMORE

King Alexander III

For saving his life, King Alexander III of Scotland gifted the 12-pointed stag, now seen on every bottle of Dalmore, to the Mackenzie clan. To celebrate, Master Distiller Richard Paterson has created the only single malt in the world to unite a six cask finish (former Bourbon, Matusalem Oloroso Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Port and Cabernet Sauvignon). On the palate: citrus zest, vanilla pod and crème caramel.
