Sited next to the village of Alness in the Firth of Cromarty and founded in 1839, Dalmore is the flagship malt for its owners, Whyte & Mackay.
Production halted for a period during the First World War, when the Admiralty requisitioned the factory for the production of mines. Not many distilleries can claim that in their past!
A bottle of Dalmore also holds the record for the most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold: £25,877.50.

Nose: mixed dates: both dry and juicy. Taste: fat, rich delivery with a wonderful dovetailing of juicy barley and thick, rumbling fruit. Finish: lots of toffee on the finish, but gets away with it thanks to the sheer depth to the barley and the busy sherry sub-plot. Balance: has changed character of late yet remains underpowered and with a shade too much toffee. But such is the quality of the malt in its own right it can overcome any hurdles placed before it to ensure a real mouth-filling, rumbustious dram. 90 points - Jim Murray's 2010 Whisky Bible |

Good attack on the palate, elegant and refined. The aged Matusalem, Apostoles and Amoroso Oloroso Sherry butts deliver a rich and aromatic heart full of dried spices-cloves, cinnamon and ginger. A concentrated citrus mouth-feel tantalises the middle part of the tongue with Seville orange, lemon and lime. The aftertaste of great abundance rewards the palate, truly a Highland Malt of great distinction. |

Provocative and pleasing. A melody of intense sensual aromas of sultanas, ground coffee, chocolate praline and spicy orange peel lead the first aria. This great overture of decadent luxury has been masterly composed by many long years in the finest woods - American White Oak and Spanish Oak. Time has transformed this spirit into an aged celebrity of unsurpassed quality. Crushed bramley apple, honeyed marzipan, sweet molasses and morello cherries come together in perfect harmony to take centre stage before whispers of caraway and Madeira cake completes this unforgettable symphony of pleasure. |

Pure Heaven. The nose is reflected on the taste, only this time whispers of cherry, plum then mandarin begin to emerge but these delightful flavours quickly give way to freshly baked bread, caramelised peaches and apricots. The long years in aromatic American white oak have crafted its sweet soul. The finesse for 18 months in finest amoroso sherry wood have nurtured its complex and spicy character. The warmth of your tongue is needed to tease out its true personality. Never hurry it. Take your time. You will not be disappointed. |
