Dalmore 1996 Cromartie Lands of Clan MacKenzie 45% 700ml information

The Dalmore 1996 Cromartie Lands of Clan MacKenzie is a single malt whisky from one of the Highland's most famous and prestigious distilleries. This limited edition release is the third in The Clan Mackenzie Series, with only 7,500 bottles produced. Distilled in 1996, the whisky was initially matured in American White Oak casks before being transferred to Oloroso Sherry casks from the renowned Gonzalez Byass bodega in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Bottled at 45% ABV, this whisky offers a unique and exceptional taste, reflecting the rich heritage and history of the Clan Mackenzie.

The Cromartie release is a tribute to the ancient lands of Cromartie, the Heartland of Clan Mackenzie and the home of Castle Leod, the clan's historic seat. A 'significant proportion' of the profits from the original sale of each bottle went to the Mackenzie Clan to help protect their ancestral seat, Castle Leod. This whisky is presented in a beautiful box, making it an excellent gift or collectible item for whisky enthusiasts and Clan Mackenzie descendants.

The Dalmore distillery has been associated with Master Blender Richard Paterson for many decades, who is one of the whisky industry's biggest personalities. The distillery has been part of blending giant Whyte & Mackay since 1960 and has flourished despite the company’s turbulent decades of ownership change and management failure. The takeover by Filipino owners, Emperador Inc., in 2014 marked a new era for the distillery, and the release of the Cromartie Lands of Clan MacKenzie is a testament to the distillery's commitment to producing high-quality whisky that reflects its rich heritage and history.
