Aultmore 12 Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Image courtesy Dewar's/Bacardi.Part of the new Last Great Malts series of single malts from the Dewar’s-owned distilleries, and rarely available as a single malt before now, Aultmore is highly prized by blenders. The nose is light and slightly sweet with hints of fresh berries, turpentine, and green grapes. The taste is flinty and light with a soft pepperiness and a touch of green grapes. The finish is light with soft spices, dried flowers, and a touch of honey. A good, basic, and simple single malt that should appeal to new whisky drinkers as well as longtime aficionados.
