Aultmore have been producing whisky in the Speyside region since the late 1800s, and their expressions impress us on a regular basis. However, despite their hundred-year-long history, there's hasn't really been a big, juicy story about Aultmore for us to turn into a label. So, what happened instead was we made the label be a shark going toe-to-toe with a velociraptor (or should that be fin-to-weird-scaly-claw?) on a cargo ship. We reckon we made a pretty good choice.

Tasting notes:

Nose: Cookie dough, passion fruit, earthy pear, cinnamon and shortbread.

Palate: Pineapple, lime and marmalade, tempered by more vanilla-rich shortbread notes.

Finish: A touch of spicy oak followed by thick caramel.
