Single Malt
Scotland
11 Oct 2016
One of the many limited edition bottlings released as part of La Maison du Whisky's 60th Anniversary celebrations, this is a 20 year old single malt from the Aultmore distillery, finished (aptly) in Sauternes casks.

Sugary. Sweet. Peppery spice hitting the roof of the mouth. Full. Not that okay but carries a strong spiciness. When it evolves in the bottle, it gets even more thicker and rounded. The reason this could have been picked up by LMDW is perhaps the 7yr maturation in sauternes casks that makes it unique or perhaps Aulmore OB 20+ was a rarity then. Not sure.
Sugary sweet. Peppery. Lot of cloves. The high ABV adds more intensity. But the finish and the nose are not as great as the bottler's description. For a whisky that's 20yo, I felt the finish was a bit short. I paid about 600SG$ at LMDW but it's not worth that price
