Aultmore 5 Year Old 2009 - Single Cask (Master of Malt)
This isn't the first time we've bottled a 5 year old Aultmore for our Single Cask Series, nor is it the first time that whisky from this distillery has shown so well at such a relatively young age. No coincidence there. Distilled in May 2009 and bottled in April 2015, this bottling says "age ain't nothing but a number". Other numbers include 65.4, the natural cask strength abv, and 122, the number of bottles produced.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Opening notes of old fashioned coconut ice, blueberry muffins with a lot of vanilla in the dough and some pear eau de vie. This develops into filo pastry, red Jelly Tots and charred oak.
Palate
White chocolate, ripe raspberry, lime peel with a dusting of icing sugar. Waxy red apple persists throughout, even after adding a drop of water, which brings out more vanilla and a subtle mineral note. Maybe even a hint of spicy green chillies...
Finish
Slightly drying. Fresh egg tart, ground nutmeg and a finishing note of cedar wood.
Overall
Just 5 years old? Aultmore showing wonderfully at this age once again.
