The Dalmore Distillery is situated in Alness, north of Inverness in the county of Ross-Shire. The distillery is beautifully positioned on the shoreline of the Cromarty Firth, looking across to the fertile land of the Black Isle from which it takes its name. Half Gaelic half Norse in origin Dalmore means big meadowland.
The distillery is said to have been founded in 1839 and was once owned by the Mackenzies, a distinguished local family who were friends of James Whyte and Charles Mackay who created the famous blend, Whyte & Mackay
This is a vibrant malt that has spent 6 months in a Cardeira Wine Cask from Portugal, imparting a marvellous pink hue and unmistakeable notes of red wine.
The nose is sweet with oak shavings. Summer fruits, cloves and oaky tannins. The finish is long. dry and fruity.
The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.
We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.
Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.
We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
We make sure our customers can best share with us the single malt scotch whisky experience which is why we add nothing to the malt whisky other than the purest water.
