The Legend of 1263
The Dalmore’s rich heritage traces back to 1263 when a Clan Mackenzie ancestor saved King Alexander III from a charging stag. Grateful for this act, the King granted the Clan Mackenzie the right to use a Royal 12-point stag in their coat of arms. This iconic emblem now graces every bottle of The Dalmore, symbolizing the distillery’s regal legacy.

Enriched over the years in the finest American white oak ex-bourbon casks and hand-selected oloroso sherry butts, the whisky undergoes a harmonizing process under Master Distiller Richard Paterson’s discerning eye.
