- Description
- Aultmore's 2017 distillate spent eight years maturing before a finishing pass in a single amontillado sherry octave, yielding just 85 bottles for The Octave collection. The sherry cask influence brings dried fruit, nuttiness, and subtle oxidative complexity to Speyside's typical orchard fruit character. This is a whisky for collectors seeking rare, limited bottlings with defined provenance and elegant sherry maturation.
