The Dalmore Distillery was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson in Alness, north of Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland. The distillery prides itself on the history and heritage of craftsmanship it has maintained since its establishment, and the standards it has set for the entire industry.
The Dalmore puts a lot of importance on the casks it uses to mature the spirit. These are hand selected by Master Distiller, Richard Paterson, looking at casks from across the world. Some of The Dalmore’s spirits are undergo one type of cask maturation, and are then added to other casks, creating a more complex character to the tasting profile. The personal curation of casks alongside a heritage of expertise through generations of distillers help to create a world-renowned whisky.

As a reward for saving the King’s life, the Mackenzie Clan were granted permission by the Scottish King to use the 12-pointed Royal stag emblem on their coat of arms. In 1867, when descendants of the Clan became owners of The Dalmore distillery, the Royal Stag became the icon of the brand and adorns each bottle to this day.
