Pear, vanilla, floral, fruity-waxy — clean and elegant
Grassy hay, vanilla, toffee, citrus, shredded wheat cereal — richer than expected thanks to 46% and no chill filtration
Clean, refreshing — honeyed citrus, the Foggie Moss water character coming through
Aultmore 12 — Last Great Malts collection. Foggie Moss. Ex-bourbon. 46%, NCF.
Pear and vanilla nose. Grassy vanilla palate. Clean citrus finish. Richer than expected.
Aultmore 12 earns an 8 — one of the best entry-level unpeated ex-bourbon Speysiders at £50. The 46% non-chill-filtered format is the difference.
