Crafted for the journey, grounded in legacy.
The Dalmore King Alexander III Traveller's Exclusive is a global edition of a whisky steeped in Highland legend.

Aged in an orchestration of Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Port and Cabernet Sauvignon casks, this edition is shaped under the eye of Gregg Glass—Whyte & Mackay’s Master Whisky Maker and Icons of Whisky’s 2023 Master Distiller of the Year. It’s a whisky made for discovery, yet firmly anchored in tradition.
Expect a familiar richness with a slightly brighter, fruit-forward edge—ideal for pairing with soft cheeses, cured meats, or enjoying neat mid-journey.
Maker
The Dalmore’s regal heritage dates back to 1263, symbolized by the iconic 12-point Royal Stag that adorns each bottle. This emblem was a gift to Colin of Kintail, the first chieftain of Clan Mackenzie, after he saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag. In 1839, Alexander Matheson founded The Dalmore distillery, with a vision to create an exceptional single malt. In 1867, Clan Mackenzie descendants took ownership, marking the beginning of the distillery's rise to prominence and adopting the Royal Stag as a guarantee of quality.
The distillery's unique collection of stills produces a robust and fruity new make spirit, perfect for long and complex maturation. For nearly five decades, Richard Paterson has pioneered cask curation at The Dalmore. Now, Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass, awarded Master Distiller of the Year 2023, continues this tradition of excellence, blending time-honoured methods with modern innovation.
Philosophy
For nearly 200 years, The Dalmore has been guided by an unbroken lineage of visionary whisky makers. Through long-standing partnerships with the world's finest bodegas and wineries, the distillery secures access to the best casks available. Under the watchful eye of Dalmore’s whisky makers, each cask is meticulously curated to unlock the full potential of their single malt. The result is a whisky that blends time, craftsmanship, and artistry into a masterpiece—unparalleled in its complexity and refinement.
