Aultmore 2013 12 Year Old North Star Series 26 57.7%
Aultmore 2013, bottled at 12 years old for North Star Series 26, is a bright, expressive Speyside malt that shows off the distillery’s naturally clean, honeyed spirit while adding a punch of character from its 57.7% cask strength. It opens with a fresh, almost meadow‑like sweetness—think wildflowers, soft honey and crisp orchard fruit—wrapped in a gentle malty warmth. There’s a touch of lemon peel and vanilla in the background, giving it a lifted, aromatic edge. On the palate the whisky bursts with energy. The high strength carries flavours of pear, apple compote, barley sugar and creamy toffee, followed by a lively mix of spice and citrus that keeps everything bright and focused. As it develops, richer notes emerge: warm pastry, light oak, a hint of white pepper and a soft herbal note that adds depth without weighing it down. A splash of water brings out more fruit and a silky sweetness. The finish is long and clean, lingering with honeyed malt, gentle spice and a final echo of fresh fruit. It’s a vivid, confident Speyside dram—crisp, sweet, and full of life—showing exactly why Aultmore shines when bottled at natural strength.
Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old
The nose of this golden dram offers a fresh and aromatic experience with a subtle whiff of smoke floating through the air. The taste starts with a light fruit and nut appeal that leads to a spectacular malty sweetness. The finish is worth the anticipation as it develops into a beautifully rich, full-bodied, lingering experience. Distillery Bottling
