Aultmore 18 Year

This is another whisky I rarely see or read anything about. That made interested in it and so I added it to my sample collection. Nose: really nice. Delicious, smooth and fruity, nice sweet spices, little bid of that familiar highland-honey, loads of fresh vanilla, bubblegum, a good portion of oak wood. Then the fruits take a more prominent place with some creamy strawberries and also a bid of raisins. It is a familiar nose (positively reminds me of Balblair) and really enjoyable. Palate: soft and sweet at first, then a bid more woody, citrusy juices Finish: cotton candy, ripe grapes, needless to say - very sweet - fruity sweet like ice cream. But also a good bid of wood and mild baking spices. All in all I really like it. It is not ultra unique but still is a nice little experience and interesting non the less. The funny thing is even though its sweetness is the most present characteristic it doesn’t feel too sweet. It is well balanced in that regard. Strange this one doesn’t get more attention. I had a lot other whiskies that are all over the place and popular that are for sure not better as this one.

Vilnius Whisky festival 2019 Nose: floral,sweet fresh fruits,vanilla. Palate: Malty honey with tropical fruits,lemon,pears with a nice spiciness. Finish: sweet crispy and slightly dry.

Bought this one at a duty free shop, it was the only one that seemed interesting and never heard of it. Floral honey, fruit/apple dominate, malty. Spicy at first sip, tart, fades quick and dries up on the finish.

Nice burn.
