Aultmore 18 Year Old : Speyside’s Most Underrated Gem

The Aultmore 18 Year Old is a distinguished single malt from Speyside, introduced as part of the Last Great Malts collection by John Dewar & Sons in 2015. Aultmore distillery, founded in 1895, has long been a hidden gem, with much of its whisky historically used in blends. However, this 18-year-old expression allows the distillery’s unique character to shine as a standalone single malt.

Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and refill sherry casks, this whisky is celebrated for its delicate complexity. On the nose, it presents fresh orchard fruits, vanilla, and soft hints of citrus. The palate offers syrupy orchard fruits, complemented by biscuity notes, fresh orange blossom, and a slight herbaceous quality, with a rich and oily texture. The finish is long, with lingering notes of sultanas, malt, and subtle citrus.

This whisky is ideal for sipping neat and showcases the distillery’s smooth, approachable style. Whether enjoyed at a rooftop gathering in Dubai Marina or at a relaxing evening in Al Reem Island Abu Dhabi, Aultmore 18 is a refined choice for any occasion.
