This is one meaty Aultmore at 63% matured in sherry.

In character, therefore, Aultmore shares some of the same characters as Linkwood – fragrant on the nose, substantial on the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen drinking locally, you wouldn’t ever ask for an Aultmore, but for ‘a dram of the Buckie road’. Located in splendid isolation on the route which runs from that fishing port to Keith, it has – until very recently – been a rare bird as a single malt. Built by the enterprising Alexander Edward in 1896 it was always going to be pressed into service for blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1923 it became part of the John Dewar \u0026amp; Sons estate and has remained so ever since. In fact, so highly prized is it as a blending malt that it is said that when Bacardi was in the process of buying Dewar’s from Diageo, it was willing to walk away from the deal if Aultmore wasn’t included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompletely refurbished in the 1970s it is easy to dismiss as little more than a functional plant, but the character of its single malts, now finally being given an official release, shows what the blenders have been keeping to themselves for all these years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Due Mid April 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e63% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aultmore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53027601645906,"sku":"AULT16CENT1981","price":799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/Aultmore16YearOld1981SherryCaskMaturedCentenaryLimmiedEditionDumpyBottleSpeysideSingleMaltWhisky_1997_70cl1.jpg?v=1774440320","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/aultmore-16-year-old-1981-sherry-cask-matured-centenary-limmied-edition-dumpy-bottle-speyside-single-malt-whisky-1997-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
