Aultmore Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1974 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and subtle mahogany undertones.

Nose

Opulent sherry-drenched fruit and vanilla weave through toasted oak. Dried fig, prune and raisin mingle with cocoa nib and almond, while citrus zest and honey brighten the bouquet. At cask strength, the aroma is bold and refined, a warm, caramel-spice richness that lingers long.

Palate

Opulent and densely structured on the palate, this 21-year-old Aultmore delivers a sherried core of dark plum, fig and raisin, woven with molasses and espresso. Velvety yet bold, it carries a fierce warmth from 60.9% ABV, with spice, oak, clove and cacao emerging mid-palate. The finish is long and regal, almond- and cocoa-dusted, leaving a lasting, elegant warmth.

Finish

Long, warming finish with dark dried fruits and toasted oak unfolding into a sherried sweetness. Spices—cinnamon and clove—linger beside a cacao-dusted fade, tapering to vanilla, resin and a final whisper of peppery warmth.
