Tasting Notes

Aultmore 15 Year Old 2008 - Benchmark (Murray McDavid) is a delightful single malt whisky that takes you on a journey of flavors. Imagine biting into a warm apple pie, with the sweetness of baked apples infused with spices lingering on your palate. Next, you're transported to a cozy fireplace, savoring the aroma of burnt biscuits and the rich, fruity notes of stewed berries. As you sip, the whisky unveils layers of honeyed dates, barley's natural sweetness, and the comforting taste of toffee, complemented by the delicate hint of poached pear. The finish is a harmonious blend of cinnamon spice, oily malt, and leathery oak, leaving a lingering sweetness on your tongue. This whisky spent 15 years maturing in bourbon hogsheads, Pedro Ximénez sherry, and Amarone casks, expertly crafted by Murray McDavid for their Benchmark collection in 2024.
