The Dalmore King Alexander III Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl

The Dalmore King Alexander III — arguably the most ambitious cask expression in premium Highland Scotch. Master Distiller Richard Paterson uses six different casks — Bourbon barrels, Matusalem Oloroso sherry, Madeira barrels, Marsala casks, Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques, and Port pipes — to create a genuinely complex, layered signature. Named for the 13th-century Scottish king linked to Dalmore's founding legend.

Why you'll love it

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 — 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 — 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 — 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.
