About The Dalmore

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 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.

History

The roots of the brand date back to 1263 when Colin of Kintail, Chief of the Clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III from a charging stag. 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.
