Dalmore 12 Years

The Dalmore750 ml40% ABV

Legendary Highland single malt finished in rare oloroso sherry butts

An outstanding representation of The Dalmore's signature style, this single malt is aged for nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being split, with half finishing in rare 30-year-old Gonzalez Byass Matusalem oloroso sherry butts. The result is a complex and full-bodied dram featuring citrus notes, rich chocolate, and warm winter spices.

The story behind it

The maker

The legendary Mackenzie clan took over the distillery in 1867 and introduced the iconic 12-point Royal Stag emblem that adorns every bottle, a symbol of royal favor granted to their ancestors. Under the stewardship of legendary Master Distiller Richard Paterson, the distillery has achieved global renown for its pioneering multi-cask finishing techniques.

How it is made

The Dalmore Distillery was established in 1839 by Alexander Matheson and is located on the shores of the Cromarty Firth in the northern Highlands of Scotland. For over a century, the distillery has maintained a close relationship with the sherry house of Gonzalez Byass to secure the finest aging casks.
