The Dalmore’s royal identity

4 December 2008 | By Popsop Team

The Dalmore distillery has been producing whiskies in the highlands since 1839, every bottle is adorned with a “Royal (12 pointer)” stag’s head.

dalmore

This emblem dates back to 1263, when the ancestor of the late owners, Clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III of Scotland from being gored by a stag whilst out hunting. The grateful King granted him the use of the stag’s head on his coat of arms. The MacKenzie clan motto “I shine Not Burn,” has also been adopted by the Dalmore.

This whisky has been aged in three different styles of the finest sherry wood – Matusalem, Apostoles & Amoroso Oloroso – this helps to create its rich body, and creates a Highland malt of great distinction.

An elegant smooth whisky, with a concentrated citric mouth combined with dried spices, cloves and cinnamon.

Available at Harrods for GBP 42.50.
