The Dalmore King Alexander III Whisky 40% 700ml

The Dalmore King Alexander III Whisky 40% 700ml

Matured across a variety of barrels that once stored sherry, Cabernet Sauvignon, Madeira, Marsala, port and bourbon, the Dalmore King Alexander III features an unparalleled diversity and richness of flavor, made possible by Richard Paterson's mastery of blending.
This whisky is named after Alexander III of Scotland, who was once saved by the founder of Clan MacKenzie from a stag, and subsequently gave his permission for them use a royal stag's head on their emblem.
That same emblem made its way to every bottle of Dalmore when the MacKenzies acquired the Dalmore Distillery in 1867.
