Dalmore is undoubtedly the prize single malt in the Whyte & Mackay portfolio. This was not always the case though. The blenders purchased it from the Mackenzie family in 1960, having been long-standing customers. Due to the long-running importance of it to their blends, their distillery bottlings of its single malt were limited to a 12 year old expression. Nowadays however, it is positioned as a luxury brand, rubbing shoulder with the likes of Macallan, and is globally recognised.
The Dalmore Mackenzie was released to commemorate the long lasting relationship between Dalmore and Clan Mackenzie. The whisky was matured in a bourbon hogsheads for 11 years before a finishing period of 6 years in port pipes.
