Dalmore 15 Years

12 Years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks precede a 3 year finish in three different sherry woods: Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem Oloroso.

The Dalmore is crafted using 150 year old artisan process passed down through the generations. Harnessed by the skills of their craftsmen, eight hand beaten copper stills of variable shape and size deliver a full flavoured and complex new spirit. This is then tempered and enriched over years in the finest American white oak ex-bourbon casks and hand selected Oloroso sherry butts, sourced from world renowned bodega Gonzales Byass. Master Distiller Richard Peterson then makes his final selection, harmonizing the spirit of the chosen casks in bespoke sherry butts until he decides that the precious contents are ready for bottling.

The Dalmore´s heritage dates back to 1263. It was in this year that an ancestor of the Clan Mackenzie, owners of the Dalmore distillery for over a century, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a charging stag. In the recognition of this noble act the grateful King granted the Clan Mackenzie the right to use a 12 point stag, representing a "Royal", in their coat of arms. This striking icon has since adorned each bottle of The Dalmore, symbolizing The Dalmore distillery´s regal legacy.
