This bottling of a Dalmore single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced as a MacKenzie Limited Edition, it commemorates the rescue of King Alexander III from a stag and honours the long-time owners of the distillery, the MacKenzie clan. The whisky was distilled in 1992, matured for 11 years in American white oak casks, finished for 6 years in Port Pipes from Oporto and was bottled in 2010 with 3000 individually numbered bottles.
Dalmore is a distillery near Alness, Highland, Scotland, which was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson. From 1867, members of the Mackenzie clan ran the distillery. A member of the clan saved King Alexander III from a stag, and since then the twelve-pointer has appeared on the coat of arms and also on Dalmore's bottles. During the First World War, the Royal Navy produced mines on site, in the 1960s the distillery merged with Whyte & Mackay Ltd. and today it belongs to the Philippine Emperador Inc.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
