Detail
An outstanding single malt matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and finessed in rare and aged oloroso sherry casks. The Dalmore 12 is smooth, rich and well rounded; the epitome of The Dalmore house style. The spirit is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks for nine years, yielding soft vanilla and honey notes. It is then finished in multiple rare Sherry casks for two years, including two available only to The Dalmore distillery. Each Sherry cask gifts the whisky with its own individual characteristics before theyre all married back together. The Dalmores heritage dates back to 1263. It was in this year that Colin of Kintail, Chief of the Clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a charging stag. In recognition of this noble act the King granted the Mackenzie Clan the right to use the 12 pointed Royal stag emblem on their coat of arms. When descendants of the Clan became owners of The Dalmore distillery in 1867, the Royal Stag became the recognisable icon that proudly adorns each bottle of The Dalmore today; an emblem which encapsulates a rich past whilst also embodying a promise that The Dalmore will remain at the pinnacle of single malt.
