Aultmore - 12 year old - 40%
Cask:
Colour:
Delicate golden Chardonnay.
Nose:
A delightful, floral perfume initially dominates this gentle whisky, with a dusting of talcum powder emerging, enrobed entirely in the delicate sweetness of green apples.
Palate:
The fragrant floral note is carried through from the nose, and merges perfectly with a richer sweet and fruity character, which is redolent of a ripe plum pudding.
Finish:
A very satisfying delicate and dry finish.
