Aultmore 21 Year Old Review
 You
will need to dust off your passport to
get your hands on the new Aultmore 21
year old as it is available exclusively
in travel retail.
Almost a decade older than than the
entry level 12 year old, the 21 year old
will only be available in limited
quantities and like all the bottlings in
the Aultmore whisky range it is
presented in its natural unadulterated
form, bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill
filtered, no added caramel colouring it
draws its colour naturally from the
re-fill hogsheads casks it slowly
matured in for 21 years, just as we like
it.
Also good to see the whisky and
indeed all the whiskies in the range
carry a clear age statement.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet orange and mild
vanilla, some fresh apple hiding there
at the back and just the mildest touch
of those signature Aultmore grassy
notes.
Taste: Medium to full
bodied, velvety smooth, lovely mature
sweet oak, light cereal and a gentle
candied fruity sweetness, orange, melon,
baked apple and banana, almonds,
butterscotch, the oils make the flavours
cling to the mouth. Some late spice.
Finish: A deliciously long
finish, the gentle candied fruit
continues into the finish, mature mild
sweet oak, musky grassy note, slowly drying.
Comment:
Loved it! This really is very good,
Aultmore has been producing whisky since
1897 yet we had to wait until now for
them to release this. Its a pity you
need a passport to get hold of it, this
is one to look out for on your travels
if you are looking to spoil yourself.
Like the other bottlings in the new
Aultmore range you will find the
distillery's signature lovely grassy
notes which become more apparent with
each mouthful.
SMW Score
91/100
The Aultmore 21 year old is exclusively
