Aultmore 12 Years [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that delivers exceptional quality without the premium price tag of older expressions?

The Aultmore 12 Years represents one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets among whisky connoisseurs. As a certified spirits specialist, I can confidently say this Premium expression showcases Aultmore’s signature delicate and floral character that has made it a favorite blending malt for decades. What sets this apart is its fog-cooled maturation in Speyside’s Keith valley, creating remarkably smooth complexity. Those exploring the distillery’s range should also consider the Aultmore 18 Years for deeper sherry influence, or the Aultmore 15 Years Sweet Marsala for wine cask experimentation.

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly food-friendly compared to heavily peated alternatives. After evaluating hundreds of Speyside whiskies, this stands out for its refined restraint and exceptional value at RM 235.
