Another new opening..
Aultmore 12 Yr old.
Rare to get bottles from this distillery up in Keith. One of Dewars blend whiskies this, and quite interesting.
Nose is slightly sweet and fruity like a desert wine initially, as is taste. Then it dries quickly and honey and vanilla appear. Oak takes over a bit with spices and a long fine finish.
After a few sips and some air, herby banana and a silky mouthfeel is also there.
Rather nice, delicate drink. Quite like it.

interestingly a dribble of water and you lose the early sweetness
Just as a brief distraction from the whisky obsession on this thread:ner: here's a lovely Rioja Riserva we enjoyed yesterday:

nice colour.. i like rioja... sorry about the whisky takeover
Lol - no worries, mate. It's your passion, and good to see:)
Yeah, that one was top notch. I've had the ordinary Baron de Ley, but not the Reserva, which is a different level and highly recommended!

Enjoy a Rioja myself
Jeez. the branches up there must be right shite!:doh:
Not to worry. M&S and Morrisons we're rarely in, Tesco occasionally, so I'll bear that in mind if I find any gems in those places:)
