- The Dalmore Distillery was founded in 1839. The distillery was long run by the noble Scottish Mackenzie clan. A member of the clan once saved the life of King Alexander III on a deer hunt by stabbing a deer that attacked him at the last second.
In response, the king was so grateful that he allowed the Mackenzie clan to bear the royal twelve-pointed stags on their coat of arms. This symbol is still shown on Dalmore bottles today. As early as 1874, four stills were used there, and in 1966 this was increased to eight. We were allowed to visit the Dalmore distillery and got exciting insights that we don't want to withhold from you.

Amazing video, great depth, lots of knowledge, brilliant quality! Keep up the good work Ben!💯
Love these Distillery videos. As someone has already said, these distilleries should be over the moon to have you visit.
More of this stuff, distillery visits and similar content. Fantastic!
I have not tried the Dalmore yet and will be purchasing one next time I visit the shops!
Outstanding video as usual, Ben. As for Dalmore, they seriously need to increase their abv (40%, especially for a 15 year old single malt at its price point is completely inexcusable).
The Dalore is my alltime favourite distillery... Portwood Reserve is an awesome dram too
Certainly one of their best !!
I've had the cigar malt, 18 and king Alexander III and they are all phenomenal, not sure I've had the portwood reserve. Balvenie has an amazing portwood 21 but bang for your buck to me is the dalmore cigar malt
Wow. I doubt that Dalmore has any other video online that promotes them so well. Excellent work, keep them coming!
I am a complete newbie ( I've only ever visited one distillery. (Kingsbarns last week )) in the past two nights I've been in to more distilleries than I could have managed in quite a few years and learned more about whisky making than I could have reading about it. I've also seen your India visit. Fascinating. I noticed an oil rig in the background which got me thinking as I used to be a derrikman and looked after and ran the pump room cw drilling mud. I think I could switch industries and anyone working in a distillery vice versa. The head distiller would be equivalent to a mud engineer. However forgive me for rambling on and thankyou for your enthusiasm and knowledge.
Another very informative video. Thank you for your tireless work on the distilleries to entertain us. Cheers from Aussie.
Great production Ben!
It's my favorite Distillery.
Thank you for the great video.
Thank you for perfect video. Superb quality. Good job Ben.
Wow Ben, nicely done video! What a great distillery!
Nice one Ben ,a good an informative highlight into the Dalmore distillery 👍.
Beautiful, luciuous color. Glistening. Looks like magic! How do they do that? Bottle design? Lighting? Do they put shaved gold like goldshlager? WOW. Makes my Cigar Malt taste even better! Jk - We all know they use red dye #40 from bugs, unreal.
Awesome 👌 video, I have a keen taste for Dalmore.
One of my favorites ❤
The blend of english and scottish accents spoken by the manager is very pronounced
The alexander king is a fantastic whisky
Good job ben
Great content. Subscribed!
LOVELY REVIEW!!!!
Every time the videos have higher technical and aesthetic quality. Better narrative ability. As a suggestion, it would not be bad if you introduced at the beginning of the video an infographic in the style of Google Maps or Google Earth with a zoom to locate the distillery or place in question. Thanks for everything.
best video on Dalmore
Yeah Ben ! nice video of one of the gratest whiskys
wow very nice video. Danke.
Great place
Amazing visuals. Hey Ben I was hoping for you to review Peat Monster. I find the whisky to be delightful, i want to know your thoughts.
when will you go back to dalmore and discuss the dalnore portwood and have a chat with richard patterson
I can't help but wonder, if I were to visit the Dalmore distillery, what would be my chances of meeting the legendary Richard Paterson?
How old is the Alexander King III ? I’ve read somewhere on the internet that has matured for about 14 years, is this true?
Wow! Diluting a 40% ABV whisky to bring out the taste?
Lot of master distillers dilute it below 40 when tasting
Exactly, it doesnt make sense, the 40% already contains lots of water
I'm not new to Single Malt Scotch, but definitely not an expert or connoisseur. Isn't there a perceived rivalry between The Dalmore and The Macallan distilleries/brands? I recall overhearing something about each brand sees themselves as the pinnacle of luxury and of all distilled spirits etc.
The ironic thing is that neither of them produce a quality product. It's all 40% or heavily filtered or fake colouring.
Orange and spice is Glenmorangie..
Where's Richard Paterson
the same dried fruits and a lot of more you can smell in the sam 18-20 years old cognacs by $50-80 insteed of $310 Dalmore
17:20 - The REAL questions that Ben should have been asking that guy "The Distillery manager" is why on earth does Dalmore adds *so much* caramel E150A colouring in their whiskies, why do they dilute so much down to basic 40%, why do they still chill-filter, and why is Dalmore so ridiculously over-price. I would be grilling "The Manager" if I were Ben....
Agreed. Most of these questions would be perfectly appropriate, especially since their sister W&M distillery (Fettercairn) have adopted integrity presentations.
He can't ask that. The answer is dalmore is a designer whisky made for idiots.
Whyte and Mac. Kay 😂😂❤
Im a wood turner . I wish I could turn some whiskey wood.
20:39-20:45 hilarious, just listen closely
I always thought Dalmore was rubbish because of the 40%, coloring, pricing & over the top marketing.
Then I was at a blind tasting and had a line up of 12yo’s.
I scored the Dalmore the highest because it was way frutier and had no harsh notes as the others had.
So I had to admit I was quite prejudice..🙄
Great that the actual taste could convince you. Never judge a book by its cover. 😄
@@Whiskycom yeah there was nothing else to do as it was the best tasting of all of them.😄
My problem with dalmore is the 40%, the chill filtration and the enormous amount of E150 they use…. of Course Ben didn’t talk about this and goes along with the bla bla…..Dalmore ❌
I second your comment, so well said. Dalmore & Macallan are like the same, highly-diluted, chill-filtered and ridiculously OVERpriced!
I never buy Dalmore & Macallan.
best whisky in the world bla bla, chilfiltered bla bla, color added bla bla minimum abv ..... this is not a whisky geeks way :)) the king is naked! :)
