Frequently asked
Who is King Alexander III?
King Alexander III of Scotland (1241-1286). In 1263, Colin of Kintail (ancestor of the Mackenzie clan and Dalmore's later owners) saved King Alexander from a charging stag. The grateful king granted Colin the right to display the 12-point stag emblem β Dalmore's signature ever since.
Why six casks?
Master Distiller Richard Paterson designed this expression as a demonstration of Dalmore's cask expertise. Each cask contributes distinctive character β the combined result is more layered than any single-cask expression can achieve. A signature Dalmore statement piece.
Is this NAS (non-age-statement)?
Yes β King Alexander III is a signature blend without a specific age statement, giving the master distiller flexibility to select ideal casks regardless of age. The focus is on the cask combination character rather than age.
