Aultmore 15 Years Ruby Marsala [Limited Edition] [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that bridges traditional Scottish craftsmanship with innovative Italian wine finishing?

The Aultmore 15 Years Ruby Marsala represents a bold departure from conventional aging, where 15 years of American oak maturation meets six months of Sicilian Marsala Rubino Dolce cask finishing. This limited edition expression showcases how sweet wine casks can transform a classic Speyside profile into something extraordinary. While collectors might also consider the Aberlour A’bunadh Alba cask strength or Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside, this Aultmore offers a unique wine-influenced character rarely found in Scottish whiskies.
