Dalmore 12 Years

Dalmore 12 Years is a classic single malt that perfectly represents the house style: rich, full-bodied and refined. Initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, it is then given extra depth in exclusive oloroso sherry casks from Jerez. The result is a beautiful balance of citrus freshness, spicy complexity and deep sherry richness. An excellent introduction to Dalmore, yet a lasting favorite among seasoned whisky lovers.

Dalmore Distillery

Dalmore Distillery is located on the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth, in the Scottish Highlands, near the town of Alness. Founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, Dalmore has a rich history and is known for its luxurious and complex whiskies.

A unique feature of Dalmore is the use of water from the nearby River Alness, which contributes to the whisky's distinctive flavour profile. Dalmore is famous for its maturation techniques, using a combination of American oak bourbon casks and exclusive sherry casks from bodega Gonzales Byass in Jerez, Spain. This creates deep, rich flavours with layers of chocolate, orange, coffee and spices.

The distillery is also known for its iconic emblem, a 12-pointed Royal Stag, which reflects the legendary background of the Mackenzie clan heritage. Dalmore whiskies are often considered luxurious expressions, with a refined balance and a long, sumptuous finish. This combination of traditional methods, exceptional maturation techniques and rich history makes Dalmore one of the most respected names in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
