The Dalmore King Alexander III Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Dalmore King Alexander III is a pioneering single malt, 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 remarkable release is 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. Bottled at 40% ABV, it showcases the distillery’s mastery of wood and delivers exceptional balance and complexity.

What Makes The Dalmore Distillery Stand Out?

Founded in 1839 on the shores of the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands, The Dalmore has become synonymous with luxury single malts.
