bronze, reflecting maturity and complexity. Long,
slender legs form on the glass, slowly descending to
reveal its rich oils and texture.
Nose: Intense dark chocolate gives way to layers of
cinnamon and vanilla, unfolding with depth and
complexity. Hints of cocoa, roasted coffee, and malt
appear, alongside subtle notes of liquorice and aged
leather. With time, vibrant red berries, raspberry,
redcurrant, and cherry preserve emerge, balanced by
the ever-present dark chocolate.

DALMORE DISTILLERY
Founded in 1839 by the Mackenzie clan in Alness, The Dalmore is a distinguished Highland distillery celebrated for its heritage and refined single malts. Its iconic 12-point royal stag emblem honours a 13th-century legend and remains a symbol of nobility and excellence. The distillery’s signature flat-topped copper stills and slow distillation produce a rich, full-bodied spirit. Maturation takes place in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and rare 30-year-old Matusalem sherry butts from González Byass, resulting in a profile of dark chocolate, orange zest, spice, and dried fruits. Guided by legendary Master Distiller Richard Paterson, The Dalmore has released some of the world’s most coveted whiskies. From its core range to iconic single casks, The Dalmore exemplifies Highland elegance, masterful cask influence, and enduring craftsmanship.
