The Dalmore Cromartie is the third in a series of limited edition releases crafted by Dalmore Master Distiller, Richard Paterson, in homage to the Clan Mackenzie.  Limited to 7,500 bottles worldwide, it celebrates the ancient lands of Cromartie, heartland of the clan, and home to Castle Leod, the clan's historic seat.

The Mackenzies have held lands in Cromartie since the 1600's and to this day the clan chief still bears the title 'Earl of Cromartie'.  Stored deep in the heart of the castle and kept safe under lock and key, is an ancient map depicting the lands of Cromartie.  This priceless historical artefact, drawn up in 1762 as part of the government's order to map 'rebel estates', is a work of art in itself and adorns every box.

In honor of the ancient bond between the land, the Mackenzies and The Dalmore, a share of the proceeds from every bottle sold was donated to the maintenance of the clan estates at Cromartie.
