The Dalmore 12 Year Old Whisky from the Dalmore Distillery ages for an initial period of nine years in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels before being carefully divided. One half continues to mature in bourbon barrels while the other half is transferred to 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso barrels.

The Dalmore 12 Year Old is complex yet balanced. It is the embodiment of the Dalmore house style.

The Dalmore Distillery

Founded by Alexander Matheson, the Dalmore Distillery has been operating on the shores of Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands since 1839 and takes pride in an uninterrupted chain of brilliant, visionary, and influential craftsmen.

For over 175 years, The Dalmore has set the standards that many other whisky makers follow today.

The careful maintenance of the barrels, the experience passed down from generation to generation, and the individual passion of all involved allow for the enjoyment of a unique malt whisky that respects the ancient tradition of the Dalmore house.

The success of the distillery is also due to Master Distiller Richard Paterson, who has been its creative force for almost five decades.

The Dalmore and González Byass

The style of the Dalmore house originates from a close and trusting relationship forged with González Byass Bodega over 100 years ago. The barrels used by the Spanish collaborators, which initially held 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry, are later destined for The Dalmore, which uses them to enhance the distinctive chocolate and orange character of its whisky with rich flavors and a nutty aftertaste.
