Aultmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Product Information

PALATE: The first sip is akin to biting into a succulent, fresh peach dusted with vanilla sugar, accompanied by playful notes of lemon drops and a touch of greenery. As the journey continues, subtle sherry undertones merge seamlessly with the warm embrace of freshly baked biscuits and a gentle hint of oak. FINISH: The finish lingers for a medium duration, leaving notes of malt, oak, and a gentle kiss of lemon pepper. Rich on the palate, a bit of smoke, salinity, crushed stone and lemon curd. It's just peppery and smoky enough to give complexity - this is by no means a peated, or heavily smoky dram. Charred pineapple, vanilla bean, toffee, fresh rising bread, salted caramel. Really decadent, interesting, rich for 46% ABV.

Slight oddness aside, it became very clear that there is no magic art to whisky judging. It is still all a matter of opinion. There were some widely divergent scores as personal taste reared its head, even within our pod of four. I can’t help but think that perhaps whisky could benefit from adopting aspects of approaches from elsewhere within the drinks industry - The WSET (Wine and Spirit Educational Trust) Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine provides an excellent (and scalable with experience and ability) matrix for the judging of quality. Utilising a matrix-like approach seems dreadfully middle-class business school, but it could provide baseline expectations and offer more gradation than a points scale that punishes and praises within 10% of each other.

I attended a very interesting Whisky Squad last night where the theme for the evening was competition scoring. Divided into ‘pods’ of four, we were asked to score some recent medal winning drams and then compare and contrast with colleagues within our pod to award an overall medal (or not) to six different whiskies. Scoring in a collaborative and collegial manner is quite intriguing and provides yet further proof that spirits appreciation really all is a matter of opinion. Interestingly, the bulk of Aultmore’s spirit has traditionally been utilized in blends, with the Aultmore 12 yo whisky emerging in 2014, followed by the Aultmore 18 yo in 2015. Taste: A good mouthfeel for both the 43% and likewise the light character of Aultmore. Honey, toffee and hay again, but now more defined with apple peels, grapes, orange zest and some real creaminess. Earthiness is still here, quite musty, almost like a forest mushroom. Distilled by Aultmore, this release is aged for 18 years, bottled at 46% ABV, and newly imported to the US under the recently relaxed bottle volume guidelines: this release is a 700ml bottle.

Long finish, a touch of ash and brine, bold and full of flavor. Pepper, caramel, fresh biscuits and sweet buttercream. Very long finish, delightful.
