Dalmore 12 year old

The story of the stag dates back to the 1200’s when a member of Clan Mackenzie saved King Alexander III from a stag attack. As a reward for saving him, King Alexander III granted Clan Mackenzie the right to use 12-pointed stag emblem on their coat of arms. The emblem has been passed down through generations as a family symbol. Jumping to the 1960s, the Mackenzies sold the distillery to Whyte & Mackay who are currently responsible for the distillery.

The Dalmore 12 is another delightful addition to The Dalmore name and is a younger brother to the The Dalmore 15. The Dalmore 12 is aged for the first nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks after which half of the spirit is aged for an additional three years in rare and aged oloroso sherry casks. It is bottled at 40% AB.
