Hard To Find Whisky “Distillery Focus: The Dalmore” – Scotch Whisky News

The Dalmore single malt is one of the most popular and iconic of all Scotch whiskies. Founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, the distillery sits by the banks of the Cromarty Firth, deep in the Scottish Highlands. Dalmore’s heritage dates back to 1263, when King Alexander III was saved from a charging stag. The Mackenzie clan, whose descendants owned the distillery from 1687 until 1960, were granted the right to use the twelve pointed Royal stag emblem on their coat of arms. The iconic silver stag now adorns every bottle of The Dalmore single malt.

The distillery has been led by a succession of influential craftsmen, setting standards throughout its 181 year history. The current Master Distiller is Richard Paterson, a pioneer in his field and one of the industry’s great communicators and ambassadors. He has been the creative force behind The Dalmore for nearly five decades.

The Dalmore single malt is typically rich and robust with flavours of dried fruit, almond, toffee, citrus, and spice. Maturation often takes place in ex-Solera Sherry casks that have been soaked in Oloroso and PX Sherry for decades. Port pipes (sourced from Graham’s) and red wine barriques are also widely used alongside traditional ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. Their range comprises traditional age statement whiskies, non-age statement specialities, and high end, small batch, luxury bottlings.
