The Dalmore King Alexander III Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Dalmore King Alexander III is a masterpiece of cask artistry—luxurious, layered, and impeccably smooth. It stands as a tribute to the house style of Dalmore: opulent, chocolatey richness intertwined with exotic fruit, spice, and oak refinement. A single malt designed for those who appreciate depth, complexity, and timeless Highland elegance.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Crafted at The Dalmore Distillery in the Scottish Highlands, King Alexander III showcases pioneering maturation under Master Distiller Richard Paterson. This extraordinary whisky is the first in the world to employ a six-cask finishing process, integrating spirits from French wine barriques, Madeira drums, Sherry butts, Marsala barrels, Port pipes, and ex-bourbon casks. Each cask contributes a distinct layer—fruit, spice, nuttiness, and sweetness—merged into a singularly rich harmony. The expression honors the 13th-century Scottish legend of King Alexander III, commemorated on the Dalmore emblem with the royal stag’s head granted to the Mackenzie clan.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Red berries, dark chocolate, and orange zest mingled with coffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Palate: Silky and full-bodied, revealing layers of stewed plums, vanilla cream, almonds, and hints of Madeira sweetness balanced by oak spice.
Finish: Long, warming, and elegant, leaving impressions of cocoa, dried fruit, and gentle sherry richness.
