Tasting note

Nose

The aroma reveals layers of rich sherry influences with notes of dried fruit, nuts and a subtle hint of dark chocolate and oak.
 

Taste

On the tongue, this single malt offers a complex palette of flavours, from juicy oranges and sweet spices to smooth malt notes, perfectly balanced with the depth of older sherry casks.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, with lingering sweetness and an elegant spiciness that celebrates the rich Speyside characteristics.

With its unfiltered purity and absence of added colourings, this Aultmore whisky is a pure delight for aficionados and collectors. It is an excellent representation of the distillery's commitment to high-quality, authentic Scotch whisky.

Aultmore Distillery

Aultmore Distillery is located in the Speyside region, near the town of Keith in Banffshire. Founded in 1896 by Alexander Edward, Aultmore has a rich history and is known for its high-quality single malt whiskies. The distillery is set amid the lush, green landscape of Speyside, which contributes to the purity of their production process.

A unique feature of Aultmore is the use of water from the nearby Auchinderran Burn, which makes for a pure and light spirit. Aultmore whiskies are known for their fresh and delicate flavour profiles, with notes of grass, flowers, honey, and subtle hints of herbs and citrus. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and long fermentation times, contributing to the whisky's complexity and depth.

Aultmore matures its whiskies mainly in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a balanced and refined flavour. Although for a long time Aultmore was mainly used for blends, in recent years the distillery has gained more attention for its excellent single malts. The combination of an idyllic location, traditional techniques and high-quality production makes Aultmore a respected name in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
