The Dalmore King Alexander III was created to honour the legendary act of bravery in 1263, when the Mackenzie clan, later custodians of The Dalmore, saved Scotland’s King from a charging stag. This exceptional single malt is distinguished as the first whisky in the world to be crafted using six different types of cask: small batch bourbon barrels, Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks, Madeira casks, Marsala casks, Port pipes, and Cabernet Sauvignon barriques. The result is a masterpiece of balance and complexity, showcasing The Dalmore’s artistry in wood management.
