TASTING NOTES
-
Appearance : Bright gold.
-
Nose : Full-bodied, refined. Beautiful herbaceous and apricot notes precede notes of aromatic herbs (sage, vervain). camphoric camphoric Next, spices (black pepper, cinnamon) herald its evolution towards a more liquorice and camphorous register. “Cohesion” is the first word that comes to mind when trying to describe this Aultmore. Ripe fruits (apple, pear) elegantly punctuate its aromatic sequence.
-
Palate : Balanced, dynamic. Echoes all or part of the aromatic palette as it pleases, adding coconut and more spices (fresh coriander, ginger). The midpalate is sumptuously vanilla-flavoured and herbaceous (moss, green barley). Candied citrus fruit draws out the palate with determination until the finish.
-
Overall : Long, silky. Like biting into the skin of sweet white grapes, with praline and toffee notes bringing out its exquisite woodiness. With remarkable freshness, it throws open the towering doors of a malting floor. In the retro-nasal olfaction, toasted flavours penetrate deep into our gustatory memory. The empty glass releases honey (acacia), springtime flavours (lily of the valley) and roasted notes (tobacco).
