I attended a very interesting Whisky Squad last night where the theme for the evening was competition scoring. Divided into ‘pods’ of four, we were asked to score some recent medal winning drams and then compare and contrast with colleagues within our pod to award an overall medal (or not) to six different whiskies. Scoring in a collaborative and collegial manner is quite intriguing and provides yet further proof that spirits appreciation really all is a matter of opinion. A subtle nutty maltiness and a dash of pepper on the palate. Adding a few drops of water softens the slight alcohol heat. It brings forth the green notes, creating a complex and utterly delightful experience.

About Aultmore

Then again, I got the impression last night that in some ways the details of an individual’s scoring was largely irrelevant. It was the group discussion, conversation and collaboration to find that consensus point that really mattered. And that feels very like whisky to me.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distilled by Aultmore, this release is aged for 18 years, bottled at 46% ABV, and newly imported to the US under the recently relaxed bottle volume guidelines: this release is a 700ml bottle.

Aultmore distillery was built in 1897, commissioned by, amongst others, Alexander Edwards, an unsung hero of the Scotch Whisky industry. Like so many distilleries of the day, the whisky was destined for blending, and the make from Aultmore was so revered that its production capacity was doubled after just 1 year of operating, and it has been kept a closely guarded secret of blending houses ever since. I won’t name names, but let’s just say you look at the monthly outturn of some of the more fan-favourite bottlers and despite being twenty-something years of age the liquids are simply one Pantone away from new make spirit. This makes me wonder what on earth have these whiskies being matured in? How much amelioration has gone on, if any? Were these vessels completely inert?

FINISH: The finish lingers for a medium duration, leaving notes of malt, oak, and a gentle kiss of lemon pepper.
