The Dalmore King Alexander III Scotch Whisky 750 mL is a groundbreaking Highland single malt, celebrated as the world’s first whisky aged in six different types of casks. Created by The Dalmore’s legendary Master Distiller Richard Paterson, this expression pays tribute to the heroic act of saving King Alexander III of Scotland in 1263—a moment that secured the Mackenzie family crest of the royal stag, still proudly displayed on every Dalmore bottle. With unrivaled complexity and balance, King Alexander III is a true showcase of Dalmore’s innovation and mastery. Available at Whiskey Caviar.
