A Scottish Highlands single malt of rare complexity
The Dalmore: a legendary distillery in the Scottish Highlands
Founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson in the Highlands, The Dalmore has established itself as an exceptional distillery on the shores of the Cromarty Firth. Taken over by the Mackenzie family in 1867, it has proudly displayed the emblem of the 12-point Royal Stag ever since. Now owned by the Whyte & Mackay group, held by Emperador Distillers Inc., The Dalmore stands out for its pioneering finishing in oloroso sherry casks and its innovative approach to aging. Under the guidance of legendary Master Blender Richard Paterson, the distillery set the standard for Scotch single malt by creating the first 12-year-old whisky.
