The Dalmore Distillery, is the iconic Highland Single Malt Whisky Distillery, founded to reimagine what it is to create an exceptional Single Malt Whisky. The Dalmore Distillery is surrounded by Scotland’s natural beauty. Here the precious whisky is laid down in carefully curated casks, to develop in character through time under the watchful eye of The Dalmore’s whisky makers.

These hidden gems from our dunnage warehouses will be available directly from The Dalmore - either from our boutiques, at the distillery, or online for a limited period in the UK."
