Dalmore Distillery

Dalmore represents Scottish single malt that takes time seriously. The distillery on the banks of the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands produces whisky with a calm and consistency that can be tasted in the glass. What makes Dalmore special is its passion for casks. Here, the whiskies mature in carefully selected sherry casks – often for decades. The result? Deep warmth, dried fruit, a hint of chocolate and spices – complex, but never overwhelming. This is not a whisky for quick gulps. Dalmore invites you to pause and discover what the years have etched into the wood.

Dalmore Distillery —
Highland Single Malt with sherry depth
Dalmore is located on the banks of the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands — not on Islay, as the name might sometimes suggest, but in the Northern Highlands, where the climate steers the maturation in its own direction. The distillery has been producing single malt here since 1839, focusing on patience: long maturation periods, carefully selected casks, and no compromises in aging.
The heart of the Dalmore philosophy is the work with sherry casks. Oloroso and Apostoles casks from Jerez, some seasoned for decades, give the whiskies their characteristic warmth: dried fig, orange peel, a hint of dark chocolate, and cinnamon on the finish. Not an intrusive sweetness, but a calm, multi-layered depth that only unfolds with time in the glass.
Dalmore is not a whisky for a quick evening — but for the moment when you consciously take time for yourself. Neat, with a drop of water, or with a piece of aged hard cheese and dark chocolate.
