- Description
- Aultmore's 12-year-old from the 1980s, bottled at 40% ABV with a screw-cap closure, represents an early incarnation of this Speyside distillery's core expression. The vintage label and bottling style reflect the distillery's approach before modern releases, offering insight into how Aultmore presented itself to the market four decades ago. The spirit carries the expected Speyside characteristics of subtle orchard fruit and gentle spice. A piece of Speyside history for collectors tracing the distillery's evolution.
