As we’re working closely with the sawmills who create our casks, we can trial how slight differences in the production can affect the whiskies. We want to ensure end-to-end transparency of the highest quality locally-sourced barley as part of our land management vision of the next 100 years. Ultimately, we want to produce our own single-origin single malt whisky. How are plans for Dalmore’s distillery expansion progressing? What will the expansion entail and how will it benefit the brand? The core range, known as the Principle Collection, starts with the entry-level 12 Year Old , rising to the luxurious 21 Year Old . It also includes the popular Cigar Malt Reserve , designed specifically to be enjoyed with a cigar.

There are global complications and challenges closer to home, such as the proposed restrictions on alcohol advertising in Scotland. The Dalmore is increasingly scarce, and yet it is experiencing phenomenal demand. That will continue to be the case, even after the development. However, what we recognise is that when the distillery was founded, they sought to reimagine what it was to create an exceptional single malt. That is the vision we have applied to the distillery development.

From a whisky-making perspective it has been fascinating to rediscover (and discover) the intricacies of the distillery itself. Not only the balance between the stills, and how they play together, but the idiosyncratic nature of their design – inside and out. As you would expect, we are committed to retaining every feature that makes The Dalmore unique as we develop our new still house. We are very proud of what Whisky Works has achieved. Each of the four releases continues to enjoy a warm reception from whisky explorers. I could not possibly comment on our future plans for Whisky Works, yet. Needless to say, I have one or two experiments in mind that may or may not be laid down in cask.Simple. Flavour. We say as whisky makers we are flavour-led. We believe that there is a whisky for everyone due to the diversity of flavour characteristics Scotch whisky offers. An innovation may be sparked by a story, a person, a moment in time – but always we are aspiring to create a whisky with fantastic flavour. We announced our Scottish Oak Programme in 2021 with the ultimate aim to help establish the use of native oak as a quality raw material for the wider spirits industry, starting with Scotch. We like to make whisky in the right way and support those we work with – from the island community of Jura to the local farmers who form our Fettercairn 200 Club. Through our initiatives, we aim to make the best whiskies we can, in the best possible way. For us sustainability is fundamental, but I would say as whisky makers in Scotland it always has been. The history of their craft is as long and proud as Dalmore’s heritage, a tradition that is upheld by Master Distiller Richard Paterson, who personally hand selects the exceptional casks in which their whisky is matured and where Dalmore’s celebrated flavour is finessed. The Fettercairn 200 Club was launched in June 2022 by Fettercairn, alongside our founding partner Bairds Malt. The partnership works with barley farmers within a 50-mile radius of the distillery and the members have committed to supplying the distillery with 100% of the barley needed to produce Fettercairn single malt whisky.

Scotch whisky makers are connected at the roots. We are passionate about what we make and the place we make it. For us we are committed to make a positive impact, not only to the environment, but the local community too. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.
