Aultmore 25 Year Old Foggie Moss Batch #42 Limited Edition Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2024) 70cl

Aultmore is a distillery that is owned by Bacardi. It was first founded in 1896, changed hands a few times but eventually joined the Bacardi Malts portfolio in 1998.

For a long time the distillery was only used to create malt for blends, and it is even said that the malt created here is so good that Bacardi, who own Dewar’s, refused any deal that did not include it when they were buying the other distilleries historically owned by Dewar’s in 1998.

In 2014 Aultmore was taken to market as a brand in its own right alongside other brands such as Craigellachie, The Devron, Aberfeldy and Royal Brackla.

This saw the release of a new core range of expressions from each distillery, with Aultmore releasing a 12 Year Old, 25 Year Old, a 30 Year Old and finally a 21 Year Old that is only available from travel retail.

These malts were released to critical acclaim, and the 25 is a particularly fine example of the stunning drams that are created at Aultmore.

It has won two gold medals, one for in the Speyside Single Malt 21 Years and Over category at the 2016 World Whiskies Awards and one in the Highlands & Islands 19-30yo category at the 2015 Scotch Whisky Masters.
