Dalmore Rivers Collection
Spey Dram 2011
The River Spey is world-renowned as a classic Salmon fishing river which runs through the heart of Scotland’s malt whisky country. In recognition and celebration of the iconic status of the River Spey and those who travel from around the world to fish it, we have created this exclusive expression of the Dalmore.
Behind the scenic beauty of the majestic River Spey lies a delicate and sensitive environment, which is conserved and enhanced through the tireless work of the Spey Foundation. A generous donation from each bottle originally sold was gifted to the Spey Foundation to support and further their excellent work.

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.
