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.

For more than 150 years The Dalmore has mastered the art of multi cask maturation. Expertly made spirit and hand selected casks from some of the finest wineries and bodegas in the world are combined to create a deliciously layered whisky of legendary finesse.This fantastic single malt whisky is matured in American white Oak ex-bourbon casks and is then finessed in rare and aged Oloroso Sherry Casks. The result is a single malt smooth, well rounded and rich. The Dalmore 12 is aged in American Oak for 9 years before being transferred to ex-oloroso sherry casks for the final three years.
