To celebrate the pioneering and innovative values of the Mackenzie Clan, Dalmore's Master Distiller has painstakingly created the only single malt in the world to unite a unique six cask finish for one outstanding achievement.
This is the embodiment of brave creativity and a lifetime’s experience. In 1263, Colin of Kintail, Chief of the Clan Mackenzie, took a bold decision to stand up and be counted, and felled a charging stag which attacked King Alexander III of Scotland. In return for saving his life, the grateful King gifted the 12-pointed Royal Stag emblem to the Mackenzie Clan as a reward.
When descendants of the Mackenzie Clan took over the ownership of The Dalmore distillery in 1867, they continued to honour this brave act and proudly put the 12-pointed Royal Stag on the bottle.
To this day, the Stag still adorns each and every bottle of The Dalmore!
