Aultmore 21 Year Old - 70cl/46%

Distillery History:Aultmore (“big burn” in Gaelic) was founded in 1896 by Alexander Edward near Keith in Speyside. Water from the Auchinderran Burn filters through peaty moorland, contributing to its clean style. After early challenges including the Pattisons bankruptcy, it joined John Dewar & Sons and is now part of Bacardi. Long a hidden gem supplying blends, Aultmore’s single malts are prized for elegant fruit, herbal notes and honeyed character.

Whisky Introduction:The Aultmore 21 Year Old is a core aged expression matured exclusively in refill hogsheads and bottled at 46% without chill-filtration. It preserves the distillery’s signature lightness while developing complex tropical fruit, honey and gentle spice – an elegant, balanced Speyside classic that highlights depth and refinement.
