  • The Dalmore Distillery was founded in 1839. The distillery was long run by the noble Scottish Mackenzie clan. A member of the clan once saved the life of King Alexander III on a deer hunt by stabbing a deer that attacked him at the last second.
    In response, the king was so grateful that he allowed the Mackenzie clan to bear the royal twelve-pointed stags on their coat of arms. This symbol is still shown on Dalmore bottles today. As early as 1874, four stills were used there, and in 1966 this was increased to eight. We were allowed to visit the Dalmore distillery and got exciting insights that we don't want to withhold from you.

    Outstanding video as usual, Ben. As for Dalmore, they seriously need to increase their abv (40%, especially for a 15 year old single malt at its price point is completely inexcusable).

    Love these Distillery videos. As someone has already said, these distilleries should be over the moon to have you visit.

      I've had the cigar malt, 18 and king Alexander III and they are all phenomenal, not sure I've had the portwood reserve. Balvenie has an amazing portwood 21 but bang for your buck to me is the dalmore cigar malt

  • @willemkilian9563

    Wow. I doubt that Dalmore has any other video online that promotes them so well. Excellent work, keep them coming!

    I am a complete newbie ( I've only ever visited one distillery. (Kingsbarns last week )) in the past two nights I've been in to more distilleries than I could have managed in quite a few years and learned more about whisky making than I could have reading about it. I've also seen your India visit. Fascinating. I noticed an oil rig in the background which got me thinking as I used to be a derrikman and looked after and ran the pump room cw drilling mud. I think I could switch industries and anyone working in a distillery vice versa. The head distiller would be equivalent to a mud engineer. However forgive me for rambling on and thankyou for your enthusiasm and knowledge.

    Beautiful, luciuous color. Glistening. Looks like magic! How do they do that? Bottle design? Lighting? Do they put shaved gold like goldshlager? WOW. Makes my Cigar Malt taste even better! Jk - We all know they use red dye #40 from bugs, unreal.

    Every time the videos have higher technical and aesthetic quality. Better narrative ability. As a suggestion, it would not be bad if you introduced at the beginning of the video an infographic in the style of Google Maps or Google Earth with a zoom to locate the distillery or place in question. Thanks for everything.

    How old is the Alexander King III ? I’ve read somewhere on the internet that has matured for about 14 years, is this true?

    Wow! Diluting a 40% ABV whisky to bring out the taste?

    • @steven4570
      @steven4570 Před 2 lety +4

      Lot of master distillers dilute it below 40 when tasting

    • @MarcelB74
      @MarcelB74 Před 2 lety

      Exactly, it doesnt make sense, the 40% already contains lots of water

  • @yerevanarmenia3915
    @yerevanarmenia3915 Před měsícem

    the same dried fruits and a lot of more you can smell in the sam 18-20 years old cognacs by $50-80 insteed of $310 Dalmore

  • @onYTsince2008
    @onYTsince2008 Před 2 lety +7

    17:20 - The REAL questions that Ben should have been asking that guy "The Distillery manager" is why on earth does Dalmore adds *so much* caramel E150A colouring in their whiskies, why do they dilute so much down to basic 40%, why do they still chill-filter, and why is Dalmore so ridiculously over-price. I would be grilling "The Manager" if I were Ben....

    • @Innovate22
      @Innovate22 Před 5 měsíci

      Agreed. Most of these questions would be perfectly appropriate, especially since their sister W&M distillery (Fettercairn) have adopted integrity presentations.

    • @paintspot1509
      @paintspot1509 Před 3 měsíci

      He can't ask that. The answer is dalmore is a designer whisky made for idiots.

  • @bluegrassboy2448
    @bluegrassboy2448 Před 10 měsíci

    I'm not new to Single Malt Scotch, but definitely not an expert or connoisseur. Isn't there a perceived rivalry between The Dalmore and The Macallan distilleries/brands? I recall overhearing something about each brand sees themselves as the pinnacle of luxury and of all distilled spirits etc.

    • @paintspot1509
      @paintspot1509 Před 3 měsíci +1

      The ironic thing is that neither of them produce a quality product. It's all 40% or heavily filtered or fake colouring.

    @Vintagegijoefreak Před 4 měsíci

    I always thought Dalmore was rubbish because of the 40%, coloring, pricing & over the top marketing.
    Then I was at a blind tasting and had a line up of 12yo’s.
    I scored the Dalmore the highest because it was way frutier and had no harsh notes as the others had.
    So I had to admit I was quite prejudice..🙄

    My problem with dalmore is the 40%, the chill filtration and the enormous amount of E150 they use…. of Course Ben didn’t talk about this and goes along with the bla bla…..Dalmore ❌

    • @onYTsince2008
      @onYTsince2008 Před 2 lety

      I second your comment, so well said. Dalmore & Macallan are like the same, highly-diluted, chill-filtered and ridiculously OVERpriced!
      I never buy Dalmore & Macallan.
