The Dalmore Distillery was established in 1893 by a Scottish entrepreneur named Alexander Matheson. Located in a large meadowland (the Scottish word for big meadwland being “dalmore” — hence. Where the distillery derives its name) north of Inverness and adjacent to the Cromarty Firth. The location was ideal for whiskey production.

Hence, After 28 years of production, Alexander decided that it was time to move on and started looking for new owners. The two individuals who eventually purchased the distillery were Andrew and Charles Mackenzie, members of the Mackenzie clan. Legend has it that in 1262 this clan had saved. King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag and, as a reward. The dalmore clan  give lands and the right to use the 12 pointe Royal Stag as their emblem.
