Carn Mor Aultmore 11 Year Old

Aultmore is a distillery unofficially recognized as one of the least interesting in Scotland. In fact, one cheeky wee bottler did up a special label for their bottlings of Aultmore that incorporates sharks, velociraptors, and flaming deep-sea oil rigs to add a bit of panache to an otherwise rather unremarkable reputation. But we all know not to judge a book by its cover, right? And though the distillery's profile may not be all sparkle and pizazz, that doesn't mean the spirit itself can't shine. Check this out for an excellent example of what to look for in some of the more interesting Aultmore.

Oloroso Sherry Finish. 598 bottles suggest a couple of Bourbon Barrels or Hogsheads, re-racked into a single Sherry Butt. 47.5 %, natural colour, and non-chill-filtered.
