Aultmore 18 Year Old
Speyside’s most underrated gem…
Nestled within a hilly landscape sits Aultmore, a Speyside distillery, in the town of Keith, just off the river…a series of curved steeply sloped, shingled roofs, sit pregnant with the possibility of a hobbit appearing at any given moment.
The Aultmore distillery was founded in 1897 during the peak of the late-Victorian whisky boom. Supplied to the big blending houses of the day, Aultmore single malt's popularity with them gave rise to the distillery's success, having drawn great admiration for the smoothness of its spirit. In fact, its qualities are so fine and well-balanced that it was soon one of just a few single malts rated ‘Top Class’ by industry experts.
Their incredible production output almost guarantees that there will always be a few of these special casks around for the most zealous malt-head to find. Although they are one of the lesser known distilleries, Aultmore has a very high output relative to it’s size-- exceeding well over 2 million liters per year.
The 18 year old is aged for 18 years in American white oak casks. Be prepared for honeyed and herbaceous elements. Think summertime in Speyside.
