Aultmore 15 Year Old Sweet Marsala Cask

Aultmore Distillery, founded in 1897 in Speyside, has long been respected by blenders for its elegant, delicate spirit, though independent and specialty releases have increasingly brought it into the spotlight as a single malt. Known for its fresh, slightly herbal profile, Aultmore responds particularly well to wine cask finishing, where sweetness and fruit can complement its naturally crisp character. This 15 Year Old Sweet Marsala Cask expression showcases that interaction, using Sicilian Marsala wine casks to add richness, dried fruit notes, and dessert-like depth while preserving the whisky’s refined structure.

Tasting Notes

Palate: Smooth and rounded, with notes of caramelized orchard fruit, toffee, and sweet malt balanced by cinnamon, nutmeg, and gentle oak.

Finish: Medium-long and warming, with lingering honeyed sweetness, dried fruit, and a softly spiced fade.
