In the heart of Speyside's green lands, the Aultmore 12 year old embodies a vision of pure malt character: restrained, luminous and unmistakably elegant. This Single Malt pays tribute to orchard fruits and floral nuances that have made this Scottish region famous. Bottled at 46% vol to preserve the fullness of its matter, and non chill-filtered to retain its texture and most delicate aromas, it delivers a precise, readable and remarkably coherent profile. Patient maturation in oak casks gives it impeccable poise while its style favours clarity and aromatic brilliance. Aultmore 12 year old is aimed at those who seek an honest whisky without artifice, where the delicacy of white flowers meets the freshness of pear and apple, supported by a hint of vanilla and gentle spice. A perfect companion for attentive tastings, convivial exchanges and those rare moments when simplicity becomes a luxury.

Production and maturation

Made from carefully selected malted barley, this Single Malt is distilled in traditional pot stills, an artisanal signature that enhances fruit precision and aromatic subtlety. Slow maturation of at least 12 years in oak casks refines its structure and softens its edges without ever masking the malt's primary identity. Bottling at 46% vol provides a full and clear expression, while the absence of chill-filtration scrupulously preserves its texture and natural oils, true carriers of flavour. Throughout its production, the objective remains the same: to reach a craftsman-like balance between fruit, floral notes and a faint vegetal hint, in a spirit of great purity. Far from theatrical effects, Aultmore 12 year old favours a clear, nuanced and upright style that immediately bears the hallmarks of Speyside and the exacting standards of a house attentive to detail.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve Aultmore 12 year old between 16 and 18°C in a tulip glass to concentrate the aromas. Allow it to open for a few minutes so its fruity and floral nuances can fully express themselves. A drop of water, if desired, can accentuate the herbaceous dimension and enhance the sweetness of the vanilla. Prefer attentive tasting away from strong perfumes to appreciate the finesse of its texture and the delicate balance that characterises it. Store the bottle upright, protected from light and temperature fluctuations, to preserve its aromatic integrity.
