The history of Dalmore
Founded in 1839, Dalmore has always operated with a mission to create a standout single malt whisky that leaves an impression on anyone who tastes it. Later in the 19th century, the distillery was taken over by descendants of Clan Mackenzie, a prominent Scottish clan with strong ties to the crown. The story goes that in 1213, Colin of Kintal, the first chieftain of the clan, saved King Alexander II of Scotland from a charging stag. As a reward, he was bestowed with a 12-point Royal Stag emblem that adorns every bottle from the famous Dalmore distillery.
