Aultmore 12 Year Old

Aultmore distillery was founded in 1897 by Alexander Edward, one of Scotland’s best-known distillers, during the peak of the late-Victorian whisky boom. Supplied to the big blending houses of the day, Aultmore single malt's popularity with them gave rise to the distillery's success, having drawn great admiration for the smoothness of its spirit. In fact, its qualities are so fine and well-balanced that it was one of just a few single malts rated ‘Top Class’ by industry experts.

Nose: Fresh with some biscuity aromas and green fruits. Granny Smith apples with hints of aniseed. Sweeter notes lurking beneath (candied ginger?) and just a hint of wax.

Mouth: Rich, oily body with apple peelings and cider. Oranges and rhubarb. Hints of sweet pastry and honey. 

Finish: not very long with a touch of maltiness or beer notes.
