Born from an act of extraordinary courage by a Mackenzie Chief more than seven centuries ago, The Dalmore has soared to become a globally celebrated whisky icon. The brand’s commitment to superior quality fully embodies the spirit of valor and the perfectionism maintained over centuries.
During a royal hunt, the Clan Mackenzie Chief valiantly intervened to save King Alexander III from imminent danger. In recognition of this unparalleled bravery, the King bestowed the exceptional privilege of using the Royal Stag emblem with 12-point antlers upon the Mackenzie clan. Today, this sacred symbol on every bottle of The Dalmore not only recounts a heroic chapter but also honors a spirit of unyielding resolve.
The Art Of Exclusive Distillation
The complex personality of The Dalmore is achieved through an unconventional mastery of cask finishing. A century-spanning partnership with Gonzalez Byass grants the brand access to Solera casks continuously seasoned for nearly 80 years.
This "new spirit replacing old" principle lays the foundation for a rare layered flavor profile: deep, rich sherry notes, perfectly mingling with almond, cinnamon and ginger, complemented by vanilla and honey from American oak. This profile is further deepened by finishing in a third series of rare woods, including Port, Madeira and sought-after Sherries like Matusalem and Amoroso, resulting in an unparalleled, harmonious depth of flavor.
Masters Who Command Time
The Dalmore’s story is also defined by the masters dedicated to conquering time. Foremost among them is Richard Paterson, known as 'The Legendary Nose,' who revolutionized the multi-cask method. Today, Master Distiller Gregg Glass continues this crucial work, guaranteeing that every drop maintains its signature depth and perfect balance.
This resulting excellence is frequently acknowledged, exemplified by the Supreme Champion Spirit award at the ISC 2020 for The Dalmore 35 Year Old.
