Shrouded in mist and mystery, Aultmore 18 Year Old hails from a distillery often called “the hidden gem of Speyside.” For decades, its single malt was quietly reserved for blends, whispered about by insiders but rarely seen on shelves. Now, its elegant, unpeated character takes center stage, matured for 18 years to reveal a whisky of exceptional purity, finesse, and grace.

Aultmore 18 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Whisky 70cl
Brand: Aultmore | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 46% | Origin: Speyside, Scotland | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like walking through a dewy orchard at dawn, fresh apples, wildflowers, and soft vanilla drift through, with whispers of honey and gentle oak.
Palate: Silky and refined, with layers of pear, barley sugar, light spice, and hints of dried fruit. There’s a clean, almost ethereal sweetness balanced by soft malt and herbal undertones.
Finish: Lingering and graceful, it fades like a fading memory, leaving echoes of oak, vanilla, and a delicate floral breeze.

Production Details:
Aultmore is known for its remarkably pure distillate, thanks to a slow distillation process and water from the Foggymoss spring. This 18-year expression is non-chill filtered and aged in a mix of refill bourbon and sherry casks, allowing the spirit’s natural elegance to shine through with depth and maturity.

Perfect For:
Slow, contemplative evenings, maybe after a long walk in nature or as a reward for quiet achievements. Best enjoyed in solitude or shared with someone who truly listens.

Expert Notes:
Often described by critics as “Speyside’s best-kept secret,” Aultmore 18 has received praise for its subtle complexity and rare balance, a dram for those who value understatement over flash.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ “A whisky that doesn’t shout, it sings softly. Smooth, layered, and genuinely classy.”
🗣️ “Had never heard of Aultmore until this bottle. Now it’s my quiet obsession.”
🗣️ “Elegant as silk. Feels like the whisky equivalent of a tailored suit.”

Interesting Fact:
Despite being over 100 years old, Aultmore distillery kept its single malt hidden in blends like Dewar’s for decades. Only recently has it been released as a standalone expression, and aficionados are taking notice.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat is ideal, let it sit in the glass and open up with time. A few drops of water bring out more floral and orchard fruit tones without dulling its charm.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1897 by Alexander Edward, Aultmore sits on the edge of Keith, deep in Speyside’s whisky heartland. Surrounded by misty bogs and ancient moss, the distillery’s soft water source and traditional practices have remained unchanged, making its malt a longtime blender’s favorite, now finally given the spotlight it deserves.
