Facts

Dalmore The King Alexander III is built around cask variety. The release is known for combining several cask styles into one Highland malt. The glass moves through orange, spice, and chocolate. Those notes feel connected rather than pasted together. There is enough structure to keep each sip alert. The whisky also leaves room for the distillery voice. It feels thoughtful, specific, and worth returning to slowly. Dalmore keeps the profile direct, with vanilla and dried fruit adding quiet detail. That makes Dalmore The King Alexander III feel grounded without becoming predictable.

About the distillery

Distillery

Dalmore

Highlands of Scotland. It was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, who saw the potential of the area's natural resources for creating high-quality whisky. The distillery produces a range of single malt whiskies, including the popular 12-year-old and 18-year-old expressions, as well as a number of limited edition releases. Dalmore is known for its rich, full-bodied whiskies with notes of citrus, chocolate, and spices. Dalmore also has a long-standing association with the Mackenzie clan, who once owned the distillery. The iconic stag's head emblem that appears on the bottles of Dalmore whisky is said to have been inspired by a legend in which the clan chief saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag, and was granted the right to use the animal's antlers as his crest as a result.
