Dalmore
The name Dalmore, partly Gaelic and partly Scandinavian, means "The Great Prairie". The distillery was built by Alexander Matheson in 1839 on the coast of the Cromarty Firth, near Black Isle, where the best barley in Scotland was produced. In 1886 the distillery passed into the hands of the Mackenzie family, who began to supply Whyte & Mackay with the malt for their blends. During the First World War the distillery was converted into a mine factory, but managed to survive; in 1960 Dalmore was officially acquired by Whyte & Mackay. The production is quite high, mainly intended for blending; The whisky it ages in ex Bourbon American oak barrels and selected kegs that have contained Sherry Oloroso; it rests in the distillery warehouses and is blended in ex Sherry casks before bottling. The distillery draws water for its whisky from the River Alness.
