Six Cask Types. King Alexander III. The Dalmore the most complex multi-cask expression in The Dalmores standard range, matured in six distinct cask types simultaneously: American white oak ex-bourbon, South African Cabernet Sauvignon barriques, Madeira barriques, Marsala barrels, Tawny Port pipes, and sherry butts.

The King Alexander III is named for the 13th-century Scottish king who granted the Mackenzie clan historical custodians of The Dalmore the right to use the stag crest that became the distillerys emblem. The six-cask program translates the ambition of that heraldic legacy into whisky complexity: six wine and spirit traditions from four continents, all applied simultaneously to the same Highland malt base.
