Aultmore 18 Year Old is a single malt whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland, specifically from the small settlement of Aultmore. This unpeated whisky is part of John Dewar & Sons' "Last Great Malts" series, which also includes Aberfeldy and The Deveron. Historically, the distillery has focused on producing distillates and mature whiskies for popular blends. However, with growing interest in original bottlings and compelling stories of distillery origins, Dewar & Sons (owned by Bacardi) decided to honor these distilleries properly. Aultmore 18 Year Old is aged in hogsheads, which are reconstituted bourbon casks with new staves, providing an excellent balance. The whisky is not cold-filtered and has a natural color that can vary from bottle to bottle. When chilled, it may appear slightly cloudy. The water used in Aultmore 18 Year Old is sourced from the River Foggie Moss, which filters the water through gorse and heather, giving it a pure and refined character. The whisky's silky texture is attributed to this unique water source. Released in 2015 as part of Dewar's Last Great Malts Range, this 18-year-old whisky boasts an exceptionally smooth taste and is named after the Foggie Moss—a secluded site once known for smugglers and illicit stills. The Foggie Moss conceals the water’s source and filters it through gorse and heather, giving the whisky its unique and refined character.
