Description

Aultmore Aged 12 Years Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 46%           Age: 12 Years           Country: Scotland

The Aultmore distillery is owned and run by John Dewar and Sons Ltd or better known as Bacardi. The distillery has changed hands a few times during its long history when it was founded in 1896. Aultmore in Gaelic means ‘Big Burn’ and the water for the spirit is taken from the Burn of Auchindorran which helps it produce around 2,100,000 litres of spirit annually. The Aultmore spirit has for a long time been a contributor to Dewars blends and is best known for its 12 year old single malt which has a very distinctive taste. Using ex-bourbon American oak barrels this whisky shows light and fruity notes with some subtle acidity and a hint of peppery spice.
