Whisky Aultmore 2009 15 YO 70cl - Gordon & Macphail

Elegant and linear, this Aultmore 2009 15-year-old bottled by Gordon & MacPhail offers a sober, luminous profile: on the nose there is a weave of honey and green apple, which blends with fresh citrus notes and a faint herbal undertone. The overall impression is one of cleanliness and precision, without excess, with a touch of light spice that gives character without weighing it down; the wood influence is discreet and supports the sip more than it dominates it.

On the palate it confirms a refined balance, medium body and silky texture, with a pleasant freshness that keeps the tasting lively; the finish is sustained by a gentle salinity and a persistence that recalls dried fruit and citrus zest. It lends itself well to a meditative tasting, even with a few drops of water to open up its aromas, and naturally accompanies delicate dishes such as shellfish, fresh cheeses or apple-based desserts. A measured and versatile whisky, suitable for those who appreciate clarity and finesse.
