The Aultmore 2008 DL Sherry Butt, specially bottled for and selected by the Dutch Whisky Emporium Stores in the Netherlands, is a must-have for whisky lovers. Distilled in September 2008 and bottled after 12 years and 11 months in August 2021, this exceptional single cask whisky was chosen by participants in an online battle between the three Dutch Douglas Laing Emporia. The winning cask, DL14918, was selected and specially bottled for these three Emporia. This single cask whisky exhibits a rich taste profile, with the sherry character prominently present and the high alcohol content (61.1%) seamlessly integrated. Flavors of raisins, figs, marmalade, oranges, nuts, pipe tobacco, and wood aromas vie for attention on the palate. The whisky’s softness, combined with its well-balanced taste, has earned it a "Top Class" single malt status among experts. The Aultmore distillery, often referred to as a "wolf in sheep’s clothing," was once a major supplier of malt whisky to blenders. The distillery gained popularity for producing whiskies with a delicate softness and well-balanced taste. This particular release continues that tradition, offering a whisky that is not only complex but also exceptionally smooth. In a heartwarming gesture, for every bottle of Aultmore sold, 10 euros are donated to the Vergeten Kind (Forgotten Child) charity. During the holiday season, a special Christmas campaign ensures that at least 5,500 children have something to look forward to and can simply be children. Without water, the aroma remains somewhat closed initially and takes time to develop. However, patience is rewarded with a bouquet of caramelized nuts, walnut tart, cigar leaf, and chocolate-covered raisins. The sherry character is prominent, making the aroma very alluring. This limited release saw only 308 bottles emerge from the sherry butt, making it a collector’s gem.
