I’ve been looking forward to tasting this since I first read of it and it didn’t disappoint. It’s been finished in casks that held Tokaji dessert wine (no me neither!) to give it a noticeable sweetness. The nose is immediately…
I visited Dewar’s World of Whisky today and was keen to try Aultmore as I have an empty cask in my back garden that once contained this spirit. I tried the 12 year old and the 21 year old and…
The nose is full of almonds and toffee covered nuts with a wee nip of spice. On the palate is a riot of citrus and toffee with the sweetness of brown sugar a bit like nut brittle. The finish is…
