Aultmore 'Single Malts of Scotland' 2011 / 12 years old 59.8%

Distilled in 2011 and matured for 12 years in a single American oak barrel, this Aultmore has the fragrant, delicate nose yet weighty palate the distillery is famed for, made in part due to its fermentation process. Notes of apple tart with cinnamon pastry and vanilla custard join rich buttered toast with a thin spread of gooseberry jam. Viscous and richly spiced to finish with nutmeg and ginger flavours.
