As a reward the grateful King granted him lands and also the right to use the 12-pointed Royal Stag as the Mackenzie clan crest.In this, our entry level expression we have sought balance and richness by selecting malts in a 50:50 recipe – 50% from ex bourbon barrels and 50% from ex-sherry butts. The 12 year old was Andrew Mackenzie's original masterpiece and at the time where it was the norm to mature whisky for six years, Andrew Mackenzie demonstrated his pioneering character by being one of the firsts to double the maturation period and his boldness paid off.

There are a fair amount of layers to this 12 year old whisky starting with the aroma: dark honey, cereal, citrus, and vanilla. The palate is aromatic, well-balanced, precise and offers a fine unctuosity, straightness, precision, fat and a good structure. Dalmore 12 Year Old is matured for an initial nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being carefully divided.
