A homage to the fearless Clan Mackenzie who’s history is entwined with The Dalmore distillery, this 1995 vintage was the second in a series crafted by Master Distiller, Richard Paterson. It honours the Clan, who’s seat is still to this day at Castle Leod, and is found only 25 miles from The Dalmore Distillery.
Initially matured in American white oak and Spanish sherry wood, it then spends a final 18 months in barriques from a legendary first cru classe Bordeaux Chateau.
