This whisky is pale gold in the glass. On the nose is an immediate hint of buttered banana bread surrounded by floral aromas of broom, honeysuckle and pansy, carried on a malty platform. That malty character carries on in the palate with added notes of walnut and unsweetened citrus lemonade. A quiet finale, medium long and very pleasant. This dram really benefits from a dash of water to release a fresh floral note appearing next to more banana aromas.

Aultmore was built in 1896 by Alexander Edward, who at the time owned Benrinnes and had co-founded Craigellachie Distillery. In 1923 Aultmore was sold to John Dewar & Sons, which company became part of the Distillers Company in 1925 (the forerunner of Diageo).
When Diageo decided to sell Dewar’s to Bacardi in 1998, Aultmore came with it, together with its sister distilleries Aberfeldy, Craigellachie, MacDuff and Royal Brackla. Single malts of these five distilleries still find their way into the popular blend Dewar’s.
