Dalmore
The Dalmore Distillery is a Scottish production reality that for almost 200 years has been creating exceptional Highland scotch whisky. In fact, the distillery was founded back in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, an adventurous merchant determined to create a high-quality single malt scotch whisky. In 1867, ownership passed to the descendants of the Clan Mackenzie, specifically to Andrew and Charles Mackenzie, who decided to package each bottle of Dalmore with the symbol of the stag, the emblem of the family. It is a royal stag with twelve-pointed antlers, symbolizing the Mackenzie's connection to the crown, a bond dating back to 1263, the year when Colin of Kintail, the forefather of the Clan Mackenzie, was granted the coat of arms after saving King Alexander III of Scotland from the charge of a stag. Since the '60s, the distillery, operating in the town of Alness, has been owned by Whyte & Mackay, a Scottish company based in Glasgow specializing in the production and marketing of alcoholic beverages. Until recently, the technical guidance of the distillery was in the hands of the experience and skill of the Master Distiller Richard Paterson, who was the protagonist of Dalmore's production for almost fifty years. Richard has guided and definitively passed the baton to the current Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass, a visionary and enterprising man.
Dalmore's scotch whiskies are produced from pure malted barley and water from the nearby Averon river. The distillation process takes place in copper stills with very heterogeneous characteristics, capable of developing very peculiar aromas and flavors. For aging its whiskies, Dalmore uses wooden casks previously employed for the maturation of sherry, particularly of the Oloroso type, as well as ex-bourbon American white oak casks, ex-Port casks, and casks used for aging fine red wines. The combination of these different containers is the basis of the variety of styles of whiskies signed by Dalmore.
