The Dalmore Distillery

The Dalmore distillery is located in Alness, about 20 miles north of Inverness, and is easily accessible by car. Located in the Highlands of Scotland, the distillery is situated in a breathtaking setting, with its rich bird life of oystercatchers, herons and sea birds.

Established in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, Dalmore Distillery sits on the banks of the Cromarty Firth, overlooking the rich and fertile Black Isle, the “big meadowland,” from which it takes its name. The distillery was later purchased by the Mackenzie family in 1886, and the “twelve pointer stag” was introduced from their clan crest—a symbol that still adorns each and every bottle of The Dalmore to this day.

Clean, crystal-clear water from the nearby River Alness is used to create The Dalmore in the time-honored way, and the small band of stillmen who run the distillery all originate from a handful of local families. Years of experience, along with true craft and pride in their work, ensure that The Dalmore Whisky’s unique character and quality never falter. It remains the classic Highland malt.
