Dalmore

The Dalmore has always set the highest standards in whisky making.

The Dalmore's legacy dates back to 1263. In that year, Colin of Kintail, chief of the Mackenzie Clan, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a stag. In recognition of this noble act, the King granted the Mackenzie Clan the right to use the royal stag emblem from his coat of arms.

A pioneer in the art of cask curation, Master Distiller Richard Paterson has been the creative force behind The Dalmore for almost five decades. Inspired by the vision of The Dalmore's founder, Sir Alexander Matheson, and the achievements of the Mackenzie family who came before him, Richard is known worldwide for his passion for whisky and pioneering flair.

Over these 50 years, Richard Paterson has been on a mission to push the boundaries of what is possible in whisky production and the art of cask curation. His unparalleled expertise and knowledge of rare casks have created truly iconic, groundbreaking whiskies from The Dalmore, which set the standard in Single Malt Whisky

The Royal Stag

When the descendants of the clan became owners of The Dalmore distillery in 1867, the royal stag became the recognisable icon that proudly adorns every bottle of The Dalmore today; an emblem that encapsulates a rich past while embodying the promise that The Dalmore will remain at the pinnacle of single malt whiskies.

Exceptional barrels

At The Dalmore, we continue a centuries-old heritage that preserves the sanctity of the cask. Our precious whisky matures in exceptional casks, personally selected by Master Distiller Richard Paterson and sourced from the world's finest bodegas.

Our legendary whiskey

To create a more complex character, some of our whiskies are aged for several additional years in secondary casks. Each cask we choose must be of impeccable quality and hand-selected for the production of our renowned single malt whisky.
