Origin and Heritage
Hailing from Scotland’s Highland region, Dalmore 12 is crafted at the Dalmore Distillery in Alness, founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson. Steeped in history, the distillery’s Mackenzie clan legacy—symbolized by the iconic 12-point stag emblem—dates back to 1263, when the clan saved King Alexander III from a stag. Acquired by the Mackenzies in 1867, Dalmore pioneered cask maturation, blending tradition with innovation. Aged nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and three years in ex-oloroso sherry casks, Dalmore 12 has earned accolades like a Gold Medal at the 2019 International Spirits Challenge. Its global prestige makes it a prized choice for Nairobi’s whisky aficionados.
Taste Profile

The nose captivates with zesty orange peel, dark plums, chocolate, and marzipan, with hints of cinnamon and elderflower. On the palate, it delivers a creamy texture, blending candied oranges, coffee, almond, and spicy cinnamon, with a gentle resinous bitterness.

Best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water in a Glencairn glass, this whisky’s depth shines, making it a favorite for Nairobi’s connoisseurs and collectors.
