Aultmore 11 Year Old, The Sipping Shed Cask #900019, 61.3%
A mysterious mist, The Foggy Moss, descends upon Aultmore distillery as the light fades and the night draws in. Strange sightings tell of a beast, centuries old, that roams the hills at night, hidden by the dense fog and feasting on weary tax men travelling the Buckie road . . .
Limited to a mere 77 bottles this is a classic example of a sherried Aultmore you wont want to miss.
Cask No: 900019
Matured in a refill sherry cask
Distilled: 05.05.2010
Bottled: 29.09.2021
It’s a big whisky at cask strength, rich and complex. After adding a drop of water, wonderful flavours unfold, and it becomes a gentle giant with a big heart.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Praline, honeycomb, orange oil, singed raisins picked from a slice of cake. Some dry earthy heather notes and a touch of earl grey. It’s rich and spicy on the nose with a gentle waxiness.
Palate: The palate follows through from the nose. Lots of classic sherry notes, dried tobacco, hints of treacle, oak spice and a dash of dandelion and burdock. It has depth and weight from the Aultmore spirit which brings a mineral note and stone fruits to the sherry party. Delicious stuff.
Finish: As the sherry notes fade the minerality and spice come through a little more. Warm and satisfying.
