The Aultmore 11yo Exceptional Cask Series Batch AU2107 is a remarkable single malt whisky from the renowned Speyside distillery of Aultmore. Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2018, this expression is part of the limited Exceptional Cask Series. Aged for 11 years in first-fill and second-fill Oloroso sherry casks, this whisky is bottled at 46% ABV and comes in a 700 ml bottle. Only 2,472 bottles were produced, making it a sought-after addition to any collection.
The whisky offers a captivating nose with initial sweet notes of linden and grapes evolving into dried fruits, nuts like walnuts, and red fruit preserves such as strawberries and red currants. As it develops, it becomes spicier with hints of star anise, nutmeg, cloves, and a lingering note of licorice-like wood. A light dryness of spices and wood emerges on the tongue, balancing the sweetness of the fruit preserves and richness of the dried fruits.
The palate leans towards a vinous character rather than a typical sherry development. It starts with a sweet, wood-tinged flavor, quickly transitioning to prominent fruits like red grapes, strawberries, and blueberries. This evolves into a pastry-like quality, with the fruits transforming into jam and fruitcake. The mouthfeel is silky, with red and black fruit preserves mingling with malt and toasted nuts, leading to hints of apricots, fermented grapes, licorice, and cloves. Initially simple, the palate gradually becomes more complex, revealing floral notes of jasmine and blueberries, and a combination of nuts and apricots.
The finish is long-lasting, harmonizing the various elements, and contrasting pastry, yeast, and malt notes with red and black fruits. A Sauternes cask influence becomes apparent, with notes of nuts, spices, figs, and dates, providing a memorable conclusion.
This whisky is part of the limited Exceptional Cask Series, featuring a combination of first-fill and second-fill Oloroso sherry casks that impart rich and complex flavors. Only 2,472 bottles were produced, making it a rare and collectible item.
