Product details
The Single Malts of Scotland Cask No. 900273 is a distinguished 15-year-old single malt from the Aultmore Distillery, situated in the heart of Speyside. Distilled on June 26, 2008, and bottled on December 14, 2023, this expression was matured in a single ex-sherry butt, yielding only 422 bottles at a robust 60.7% ABV. Aultmore, established in 1896 by Alexander Edward, has long been revered for its delicate and refined spirits, often used in premium blends. However, this particular bottling showcases the distillery's capacity to produce a rich and complex single malt, emphasizing the influence of sherry cask maturation. The whisky is non-chill filtered and retains its natural color, preserving the integrity and depth of its character.
On the nose, this Aultmore offers indulgent aromas of milk chocolate, ginger biscuits, and raisins, leading to a palate that is sweet and fruity, featuring melted chocolate, juicy dates, and soft caramel. The finish is rich and spicy, with notes of demerara sugar, salted butter, and winter spices. This whisky pairs exceptionally well with rich desserts such as sticky toffee pudding or dark chocolate tart, where its sweetness complements the dessert's flavors. Additionally, it can enhance savory dishes like roast venison with caramelized root vegetables, where the whisky's depth and spice harmonize with the meat's richness. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavors, this limited-edition Aultmore is a testament to the distillery's craftsmanship and the art of sherry cask maturation.
