Aultmore is a relatively little-known distillery, and that's probably unfair. Most of its production goes into blends, but it nevertheless has a regular range. That said, nothing beats the pleasure of tasting a Single Cask, Cask Strength expression, aged in 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel. That's where you'll find the very essence of the whisky's personality. This one is therefore ideal, with the added bonus of an attractive age. 200 bottles are on sale.
Let's Taste It :
Various cereals, toasted oats, honeyed wheat, muesli. Lovely woodiness, young wood with a touch of wax. Creamy vanilla with a hint of lemon, but also herbaceous, pastoral notes, hay, tall grass. Oak leaf, cloves, apricot jam. On the palate, it moves towards yellow fruits, mirabelle plums and apples, with a touch of exoticism, pineapple and pastry cream. Discreet spices. The finish is long, a certain strength, dried banana, Liège waffles, whipped cream. Cashew nuts, corn kernels.
In Short,
This distillery deserves to be better known, it has a real identity, it's bucolic, lively, pleasant, light without being insipid, mildly subtle. It's typical of Speyside, and lovers of the region should give it a try. As for the price, it varies from site to site and from country to country, so it's best to take advantage of any special offers.
