For Whisky Drinkers Who Appreciate Sherry, Port, and Madeira
The Dalmore King Alexander III
Born in the Highlands, this whisky spent time in six different vessels before seeing the inside of a bottle. The epic journey of King Alexander III began in American white oak; the dram is then split into Madeira barrels, Sherry wood, Marsala casks, Port pipes, and Cabernet Sauvignon vats. Each destination gives the whisky a distinct tweak, culminating (when blended) in a zesty yet super-smooth kick. The luxuriously redesigned packaging features the royal 12-pronged stag.
