This 12-year-old Dalmore, bottled as an ‘Original Distillery Bottling’, contains whisky that has been matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in ex-Oloroso sherry casks.
Dalmore is a distillery near Alness, Highland, Scotland, which was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson. From 1867, members of the Mackenzie clan ran the distillery. A member of the clan saved King Alexander III from a stag, and since then the twelve-pointer has appeared on the coat of arms and also on Dalmore's bottles. During the First World War, the Royal Navy produced mines on site, in the 1960s the distillery merged with Whyte & Mackay Ltd. and today it belongs to the Philippine Emperador Inc.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
