Hidden in the misty Foggie Moss of Speyside, Aultmore has long been prized by master blenders for its exceptionally pure, soft spirit. Once a well kept secret used primarily in Dewar’s blends, the distillery stepped into the spotlight with its own single malt range and the Aultmore 12 Year Old is a shining introduction. Mellow, aromatic, and ethereal, it captures the serene nature of its secluded Highland home.

Production Details
Distilled using unpeated malt and soft Speyside water, Aultmore is known for its slow distillation process, which produces a light and floral spirit. Aged for 12 years in a combination of bourbon and refill hogsheads, this whisky remains clean and uncluttered, allowing its natural elegance to shine.

Expert Notes
Praised by critics for its "refined restraint," Aultmore 12 is a lesson in subtle complexity, not flashy, but endlessly rewarding. Its natural presentation (non chill filtered and bottled at 46%) preserves texture and freshness.

Interesting Fact
Aultmore is one of the few distilleries whose spirit was once referred to as “the smoothest in the kingdom” by Victorian whisky aficionados, even when few outside the industry had tasted it.

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy neat in a tulip glass to appreciate its floral aromas. A drop of water will open up more citrus and soft herbal notes. Lovely alongside light desserts or smoked almonds.

Distillery Background
Founded in 1897, Aultmore sits on the edge of Keith in the heart of Speyside, drawing water from the nearby Foggie Moss. Though its whiskies were seldom bottled as single malts until recently, its reputation within the whisky trade has always been quietly revered, a spirit crafted for those who appreciate finesse over fanfare.
