Adelphi Selection

Aultmore 16 Years Old 2010

ABV: 57% 70 cL

Distilled in 2010 at Aultmore, near Keith on the eastern edge of Speyside, this single malt comes from a distillery known for a light, fresh and grassy spirit.

Selected and bottled by Adelphi Selection, it was matured for sixteen years in a single first fill bourbon American Standard Barrel.

An American Standard Barrel is the 200-litre white oak cask used to age bourbon in the United States. Filled with Scotch for the first time, it still carries plenty of bourbon character, typically adding vanilla, sweetness and gentle spice.

Aultmore's delicate style works beautifully with bourbon oak, and sixteen years in an active barrel gives a mature, rounded malt that still lets the spirit shine.

Bottled at 16 years old from cask #800028, presented at natural cask strength, natural colour and no chill filtration.

£90.00

Tax included.

Aultmore Distillery, founded in 1895 by Alexander Edward near Keith in Banffshire, is a Speyside malt producer renowned for the distinctive purity and finesse of its spirit. Drawing soft, clean water from the Auchinderran Burn and surrounded by the misty landscape of Foggie Moss, Aultmore crafts whiskies known for their fresh, almost ethereal character — light yet complex, with notes of meadow grass, sweet herbs, apple, pear, and gentle citrus. Its spirit is silky and elegant, often described as “morning dew in a glass,” with a soft sweetness and delicate balance rather than oak-heavy richness. The finish is smooth and slightly spicy, leaving a crisp, refined impression. Long used in Dewar’s blends but increasingly celebrated in its own right, Aultmore remains one of Speyside’s most understated distilleries, prized by whisky enthusiasts for its natural, unadorned style.
