The Dalmore is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Alness, Ross-shire, in the Scottish Highlands. The distillery sits on the shores of the Cromarty Firth and has been producing whisky since 1839. The Dalmore is known for its distinctive stag's head emblem and operates under the ownership of Whyte & Mackay.
The Highland region produces diverse whisky styles, but The Dalmore is particularly recognized for its rich, sherried character achieved through extensive maturation in various cask types including American white oak bourbon barrels and different varieties of sherry casks. The distillery's house style typically features notes of orange, chocolate, and spice, with a full-bodied mouthfeel that develops complexity through careful wood management and extended aging periods.
The current range includes expressions aged for 12 and 18 years, representing the distillery's commitment to long-term maturation. These age-statement whiskies showcase the progressive development of The Dalmore's characteristic flavor profile, with the additional years in wood contributing increased depth and refinement to the final spirit.
