Aged in a mix of French wine barriques, Madeira and Sherry casks, Marsala barrels, Port pipes and ex-Bourbon barrels, Dalmore King Alexander III is a masterclass in blending from whisky-industry legend, Dalmore master distiller Richard Pateson. Notes of chocolate and toffee mingle on the nose, the palate is rich with a hint of sweetness before a long, balanced finish.
