Released for the 2024 Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, this exceptional whisky is drawn from a rare rechar cask - a cask that has been carefully revitalised by refreshing the oak char layer. This process breathes new life into the wood, allowing the spirit to interact with the oak in a unique way that imparts renewed depth and subtle smoky nuances. These smoky layers add complexity without overpowering the fresh, herbal character and delicate fruit notes that Aultmore is celebrated for. Having matured gracefully over 25 years, this expression reveals extraordinary complexity, with intricate aromas and evolving flavours that gradually unfold in the glass, inviting you to explore its many layers.
Bottled at a balanced 46% ABV, this whisky maintains an elegant harmony between richness and finesse. The palate takes you on a refined journey, beginning with bright orchard fruits that provide a fresh and vibrant opening. These fruit notes are gently complemented by soft spices that add warmth and subtle complexity, followed by smooth hints of vanilla and delicate oak nuances that linger gracefully. This layered and evolving profile rewards patient sipping and thoughtful appreciation, making the whisky not only a pleasure to drink but also a fitting tribute to the craftsmanship and heritage of Speyside’s finest distillers.
Perfectly suited for those seeking a rare and refined single malt to add to their collection, the Aultmore 25 Year Old Rechar Cask offers a luxurious and contemplative drinking experience. Whether enjoyed neat to savour every subtle detail or with a splash of water to unlock further complexity, this whisky promises an unforgettable dram, ideal for marking special occasions or simply indulging in a moment of quiet celebration.
