12 year old Aultmore single malt Scotch whisky, unveiled in 2014 for the Last Great Malts by Dewar’s. A refreshing dram, with plenty of vanilla, honey and citrus, alongside a touch of grassiness. It’s been quite a while since a distillery bottling of Aultmore has been released, so this is all rather exciting indeed.

Nose: A whiff of caramelized bananas, green apples, and shaved dark chocolate on the nose.
Palate: Creamy vanilla-bean ice cream upfront soon evaporates in a poof of smoke leaving white pepper.
Finish: Dry peat on the finish.
