- Description
- Aultmore's 2012 vintage was matured in ex-bourbon barrels for nine years before Càrn Mòr bottled 1,128 examples for their Strictly Limited series in 2021. Bourbon cask influence emphasizes the Speyside distillery's orchard fruit and vanilla notes, creating a clean, approachable spirit without excessive wood influence. Medium body and a crisp, dry finish make this an unfussy dram. A solid, well-executed indie bottling for everyday enjoyment.
