An 18 year old Aultmore launched in 2015 as part of John Dewar & Sons' Last Great Malts ranges.
Cereal, fruit salad, vanilla, citrus, peach. Very inviting.
Herbaceous, vinous (Riesling and Chardonnay), syrupy orchard fruit, biscuit, fresh orange blossom.
Sultana, citrus, malt, light and lingering.
Lovely, slight sulphur bite with a honey sweet finish. Complex and luscious.
Incredible dram for the money. Aultmore doesn't disappoint with this 18 year release. Tasting notes are spot on - lovely fruit and syrup maltiness with a great mouthfeel. You will NOT be disappointed in this scotch!
Not disappointed. When the nose was subtle I could only tell it reminded me of the candy store back in my young years. Sweet vanilla peaches slowly added more complexity, European oak and lemon tarts let the strength and controlled 46% take over for a wonderful finish.
9.5 - Nuff said.
A wonderfully smooth drop
