- Description
- Aultmore's Speyside character has been amplified by a finishing period in Oloroso sherry octaves, adding layers of dried fruit sweetness to the distillery's naturally elegant profile. Rich sherried notes—raisins, dates, and polished leather—coat the palate, while the underlying malt provides structure and subtle spice. The finish is warm and lingering, with wood tannins framing the sherry influence. Best suited to evening contemplation or alongside rich desserts.
