Murray's Taste Notes for Aultmore 12

[Quaich1]

Here are my own taste notes from my club's tasting last night for:

Aultmore 12, 46%, Bourbon Cask


Color:Gold

Nose: Apricot jam,honey dew melon, eau de toilette, lilacs in springtime and late candied plantains.

Taste: Medium-bodied. Fruit cocktail, speckles of demarara sugar and softened vanilla bean. Buttermilk pancakes and freshly baked banana bread are served.

Finish: Lingering, sweet tones wrapped in steamed grape leaves. Vanilla and honey perseverate with hot cocoa and whipped cream essences.

Comments: Light and satisfying. This one would make a great summer dram. The sweet profile maintains its style from nose to palate to finish with enough spice to turn it up a half notch to dial in the balance.

Rating: 85.5

Great note as usual and your rating of the Aultmore 12 is much inline with mine
