I have been seeing this bottle in almost every duty free there is, and since it is not a very famous whisky, i always wandered why is it selling so good. Tonight i tried it and now i know: it is a great dram.
Known as the "Foggie Moss", Aultmore 21yo is an speysider in every sense of the word, Super fruity and easy drinkanble.
Bottled at 46%abv, amber color.
On the nose it is a fruit salad. Very clean aromas, easy distinguishable. Pineapple, Pear, Apples; A little almost inexistent pepper. A small peat note. Peaches, Cinnamon and mostly Pineapple marmalade.
On the palate, it starts very spicy, which is not the usual, to then deliver a fruity punch. Grapefruit, pineapple and lemoncello.
Aftertaste is very different from the rest of the dram. An Ashy - peaty note appears out of nowhere.
Overall, this is a very good dram, i am actually surprised. It is not cheap, but i think you are getting your money's worth. 92 over 100. Sláinte!
