In 1263, Colin of Kintail, Chief of the clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag. As a reward the grateful King granted Colin of Kintail the lands of Eilean Donan and the right to use the 12-pointed Royal Stag as the Mackenzie clan crest.

The distillery was founded in 1839 by entrepreneur Alexander Matheson, who after 28 years decided it was time to pass on the distillery to Andrew and Charles of the Mackenzie clan, the distillery remained family-owned until 1960 when one of Dalmore's main customers, Whyte & Mackay, took control and continue down that path as pioneers of exquisite cask curation, resulting in a whisky of legendary depth.

A stunning release of Dalmore, initially matured in ex-bourbon casks, before being transferred to Graham's Port Colheita pipes for five years, and married in first-fill ex-bourbon casks before bottling
