The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson on the Cromarty Firth, The Dalmore later came under the Mackenzie family, whose Royal Stag crest became the brand’s enduring emblem. The distillery’s identity evolved through sherry and wine finishes, with modern releases showcasing cask innovation following post‑war rebuilding and ownership under Whyte & Mackay. Port Wood Reserve celebrates The Dalmore’s long partnership with Graham’s Port in Portugal, sourcing aged Tawny Port pipes for finishing. The maturation regime often splits spirit between American white oak and Tawny Port pipes before marrying, and it is bottled at a higher‑than‑usual 46.5% for intensity.
