The Dalmore Distillery has been producing exceptional single malt whisky since 1839 and, for almost a century, was owned by the Clan Mackenzie. The clan’s defining influence on the distillery is still evident to this day, with the iconic royal stag’s antlers – taken from the Mackenzie family crest – adorning each and every bottle of The Dalmore. Located on the northern shores of the Firth of Cromarty, deep in the spectacular Scottish Highlands, the distillery is perfectly placed to take advantage of a feast of natural resources: from the waters of Loch Morie, found high in the hills overlooking the distillery, to the golden barley of the rich coastal soils of the Black Isle. Being sited at sea level is critically important. Enveloped by the salt air, the sea-facing traditional dunnage warehouses provide the ideal conditions for maturation.
This single malt whisky is matured for 12 years in American Oak ex-bourbon casks. It is then equally split between three different cask of sherry wood: Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem Oloroso and matured for a further 3 years. The distillery then marry together the 3 casks in a sherry butt and infuse the flavours together. The result is a single malt smooth, well rounded and rich.
