About
Dalmore Cromartie
The Dalmore is a distillery in Alness, Scotland, located north of Inverness. The waters of the River Alness (River Averon), which runs through the village, are used to produce its whiskies.
Cromartie is the third in a series of limited
edition releases crafted by our Master Distiller,
Richard Paterson, in homage to the Clan
Mackenzie. It celebrates the ancient lands of
Cromartie, heartland of the clan, and home to
Castle Leod, the clan’s historic seat.
The Mackenzies have held lands in Cromartie
since the 1600’s and to this day the clan chief
still bears the title ‘Earl of Cromartie’. Stored
deep in the heart of the castle and kept safe
under lock and key is an ancient map depicting
the lands of Cromartie. Drawn up in 1762 as part
of the government’s order to map ‘rebels estates’,
the map is a work of art in itself.
EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP
• Distilled in 1996, The Dalmore Cromartie was
initially matured in American white oak casks

Colombian coff ee and old English marmalade.
