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 soon one of just a few single malts rated ‘Top Class’ by industry experts.
Aultmore 12 Years has a well-balanced profile with a medium body and an overall crisp and punchy character from the nose through to the finish. It's particularly noted for its clean and measured finish with soft fruits gently receding.
Nose:
The aroma presents a combination of malt, banana, dried fruit, vanilla, and a subtle tartness with waxy citrus peel notes.
Palate:
The palate offers flavors of grassy hay, malt, dried fruit, light chocolate, banana bread, and a hint of tartness, all underpinned by citric acid and honey.
Finish:
It has a medium-length finish with notes of banana bread and a trace of sweetness and hay.
