The Dalmore 1992 Mackenzie is a distinguished single malt whisky with an ABV of 46% and a volume of 700ml. Distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2010, this exceptional whisky is one of only 3,000 bottles released, making it a rare and desirable find for collectors and connoisseurs alike. The whisky has been meticulously matured for 11 years in American white oak casks before being transferred to port pipes from Oporto for an additional six years, resulting in a complex and rich flavor profile. This release is the first in a series of limited edition whiskies curated by the esteemed Dalmore Master Distiller, Richard Paterson, in honor of the Clan Mackenzie. The Mackenzie name and the iconic stag symbol adorning the bottle are a heartfelt tribute to the Clan Mackenzie, whose history is deeply interwoven with that of the Dalmore distillery. The clan's ancestor, who heroically saved King Alexander III from a stag in 1263, was honored with the right to bear a stag's head as their coat of arms. The distillery itself was under Mackenzie family ownership for many years, making the stag emblem synonymous with the Dalmore brand. Presented in an elegant box, the Dalmore 1992 Mackenzie is a testament to the distillery's unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The Dalmore distillery, located in the illustrious Highlands region, is renowned for producing some of the finest whiskies in the world. Despite several changes in ownership, the distillery has persisted in its dedication to excellence, largely thanks to the expertise of Master Blender Richard Paterson. This particular release is not only a celebration of the distillery’s heritage but also a tribute to the enduring bond between the Clan Mackenzie and the Dalmore distillery.
This whisky is unique due to its maturation process, spending 11 years in American white oak casks before finishing its aging in port pipes from Oporto for an additional six years. It is also a limited edition release with only 3,000 bottles, created to honor the Clan Mackenzie.
