Tasting Notes
Imagine biting into a warm banana bread, fresh from the oven, with notes of toasted oak and juicy pears tantalizing your senses. That's the aroma that greets you as you pour this 14-year-old Aultmore single malt into your glass. On the palate, it's like indulging in a decadent dessert – stewed orchard fruits mingle with creamy grist and a hint of vanilla custard, while a dusting of cinnamon and a smidge of nutmeg add depth and complexity. As you savor the finish, oily malt and caramelized biscuits linger, complemented by a mellow oak char that lingers pleasantly. This exceptional whisky, matured in first-fill bourbon hogsheads from Chicago's Koval distillery, is a true delight for the senses, offering a harmonious blend of flavors that will leave you craving for another sip.
