about the distillery:
Founded in 1839, The Dalmore is one of Scotland’s most celebrated Highland single malt distilleries, beautifully situated on the shores of the Cromarty Firth in the Northern Highlands. The distillery draws its water from the River Alness, which flows from Loch Morie through the town of Alness. Known for its distinctive stills and a long-standing tradition of exceptional cask maturation—particularly in sherry casks—The Dalmore has built a reputation for rich, complex and elegant whiskies. Today, the distillery is owned by Whyte & Mackay and produces a renowned range of expressions, from its iconic 12 Year Old to rare and highly aged releases. [link]
