Wemyss Malts (distilled at Aultmore) 20 year old 1982, 46%

Price: 155.00 Issue: Spring 2013 Reviewer: Dave Broom Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Aultmore is part of the Dewar's stable and another of Speyside's forgotten light brigade. Here is a noseful of esters: bubblegum, pineapple, pink grapefruit, strawberries, and icing sugar. Visions of “Legally Blonde” flash through the mind. The palate is equally energetic, though with little cask influence it's a bit gawky and slightly green, especially with water, suggesting that another year wouldn't have done it any harm. Still, all very lovely. £100
