Aultmore 15 Year Old Dry Marsala Finish Whisky

Marsala Vergine Riserva Oro casks are prized for their depth and subtlety. Aged for at least ten years before being used for finishing, they impart a rich, dry character without added sweetness. The ‘Oro’ designation refers to their golden hue, derived from the natural ageing process rather than caramel or other additives.

The Aultmore Dry Marsala Finish stands apart for its refined dryness, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer complexity over overt sweetness. In this expression, the finishing casks create an intricate harmony of flavours: orchard fruits baked to perfection, warming spice from cloves, and a bittersweet edge of high-quality dark chocolate. The flavours are layered, evolving beautifully on the palate and leaving a clean yet memorable finish.

Aultmore itself is one of Speyside’s best-kept secrets - a distillery founded in 1897, producing whisky so smooth and balanced it was once ranked ‘Top Class’ by the blending masters of the day. Rarely seen as a single malt until recent years, it continues to captivate with its understated elegance.

The Marsala Dry Finish offers a masterclass in restraint and precision, showcasing how finishing can enhance rather than overpower. For the discerning drinker, it’s a bottle that invites contemplation and rewards patience, revealing new facets with each sip.
