Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden straw, with a warm sunlit glow and a whisper of amber.
Nose
Sun-warmed pear and orchard fruit rise with honeyed vanilla, citrus zest and a touch of almond. Subtle sherry cask richness threads in—raisins, fig and cocoa, with toffee and spice. Oak adds warmth and a bright, clean spirit, poised for savor at cask strength.
Palate
Concentrated and velvety on the palate, this Aultmore from a 1989 sherry cask yields a lush tapestry of dark fruits—fig, raisin, blackberry—woven with orange zest and toasted almond. Rich yet refined, with molasses sweetness and baking-spice lift, a satin oak backbone, and a warming, lingering finish of cocoa and spice.
Finish
Long, velvety finish with zesty lemon and honeyed malt, carried by soft oak. Vanilla and almond notes linger as a warm spice threads through, leaving a creamy, subtly nutty sweetness that fades to a quiet, refined dryness.
