A pioneer in the art of cask curation, Master Distiller Richard Paterson OBE's unparalleled expertise and intimate knowledge of rare and precious casks have produced truly iconic, ground-breaking expressions from The Dalmore, that have set the standard in single malt whisky.

For over five decades, Richard has been on a mission to push the boundaries of what is possible in whisky production. Inspired by the vision of The Dalmore’s founder, Sir Alexander Matheson, and the achievements of the Mackenzie family who came before him, Richard is admired across the globe for his passion and innovative flair.
