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.

The distillery itself is located in the heart of Speyside, just off of the 9-mile road between the town of Keith and the fishing village of Buckie. Historically you could only savour a dram of Aultmore locally if you knew who to ask at the local inns, but you wouldn’t order an Aultmore, you would ask for 'nip of the Buckie road'.

Aultmore is one if the hidden gems amongst the many distilleries in Speyside, and one of the industry’s best kept secrets. It’s a whisky that is rarely found, but once discovered it is loved and revered, and for good reason! The style of whisky produced at the distillery is fresh, grassy, clean and ethereal. It takes on characters from any cask exceptionally well, but the essence of the distillery, it's DNA, is ever present.
