About Aultmore
(olt-MORE) Aultmore was founded by Alexander Edward near Keith in Speyside, with production beginning in 1897. Edward was one of the most active distillery figures of the late Victorian whisky boom, also connected with Benrinnes, Craigellachie and later Oban. Aultmore was bought by John Dewar & Sons in 1923, became part of DCL soon after, and returned to Dewar’s ownership when Bacardi acquired the Dewar’s portfolio in 1998.
The distillery has long been valued as a blending malt, particularly for Dewar’s, with official single malt releases remaining relatively limited until the range was expanded in 2014. Aultmore is an unpeated Speyside whisky known for a fresh, grassy and gently fruity character, shaped by clear spirit production and water that filters through the Foggie Moss. The current official range includes the 12 Year Old, 18 Year Old, 21 Year Old and 25 Year Old expressions.
