Dalmore distillery was used as a deep-sea mine production centre by the Royal Navy between 1917 and 1920. After the navy left the distillery was left in tatters, and after a long compensation battle, involving the House of Lords, the distillery was brought back online.

Now Dalmore, under the stewardship of Richard Paterson, presents itself as a luxury brand, with some of their bottlings among the most expensive in the world.

The Dalmore Rivers collection is a set of four individual whiskies created by Paterson, with each expression reflecting the individual character of one of Scotland's four greatest salmon rivers.
