The Dalmore’s heritage dates back to 1263, when an ancestor of the Clan Mackenzie, owners of The Dalmore distillery for over a century, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a charging stag. In recognition of this noble act the grateful King granted the Clan Mackenzie the right to use a 12-point stag, representing a ‘Royal’, in their coat of arms. This striking icon has since adorned each bottle of The Dalmore, symbolizing The Dalmore distillery’s regal legacy. The Dalmore is crafted using a 150 year old artisan process passed down through the generations.

The Dalmore King Alexander III showcases The Dalmores commitment to the art of cask curation. It is the world’s first single malt to create an assemblage of six cask finishes.

Initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, the liquid is apportioned between small batch ex-Bourbon casks, Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks, Madeira barrels, Marsala casks, Port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. These are then brought together in an in-situ Sherry butt to harmonize.
