FINISH DATE
28 February 2018
In 1263 the ancestor of clan Mackenzie saved King Alexander III from being gored by a stag with a single arrow. The grateful king granted him the right to bear a stag’s head in his coat of arms, with the motto ‘Help the king’ The Dalmore distillery was long owned by the Mackenzie family, and every bottle of the Dalmore is adorned with this noble emblem: A stag’s head, with twelve points to its antlers, signifying a ‘Royal’ This luxurious aged malt is the result in marriage of 6 different cask types, Aged aromatic Oloroso and Madeira Butts, Rich Port and Marsala wood, aged bourbon barrels and Sauvignon barriques.
Dalmore

Today, Dalmore is a remarkably impressive and successful distillery. Iconic branding and the use of various casks ensures a luxurious image and price tag. Its history is just as impressive with the commonly believed date of 1839 being when it was founded by Alexander Matheson. Looking across towards the Black Isle, the distillery is on the outskirts of Alness and today comprises a large site of various buildings and warehousing. Dalmore has been a prized commodity and the distillery has endured several owners and was purchased by Filipino group, Emperador, in 2014 as part of the Whyte & Mackay acquisition. What endures most about the distillery is the unique still set up, which upon visiting, harbours a mix match of shapes and sizes, plus the spirit stills that are cooled by water jackets. If you do visit, then try to see the old hunting lodge room about the visitor centre that is used to entertain and impress VIPs.
