The Aultmore 2008 DT Sherry Octave Finish #9529053 is a distinguished single malt whisky that boasts a robust strength of 52.5% ABV and is presented in a 700ml bottle. Crafted by the renowned Duncan Taylor brand and hailing from the acclaimed Speyside region, this exquisite whisky was distilled at the Aultmore distillery in 2008. It has matured gracefully over 12 years in traditional oak casks before being given a final finishing touch for 3 months in smaller octave casks. This careful maturation process has resulted in a limited release of just 85 bottles, making it a rare gem for collectors and whisky aficionados alike. The smaller cask size used in its finishing allows for a more intense interaction between the whisky and the wood, accelerating the maturation process and imbuing the spirit with a rich and unique flavor profile. On the nose, this Aultmore whisky initially presents elegant green tones, which swiftly evolve into a compelling mixture of spices, toffee, coffee, and caramelized sugar. The palate is full-bodied and brimming with character, featuring delightful notes of salted caramel, balsamic, chocolate-coated coffee beans, and a touch of earthiness. The finish is remarkably long-lasting, weaving together hints of clove, freshly cut grass, and malty cereal. The sherry octave finish enriches the spirit, adding layers of complexity with aromas of tobacco, cigar box, and sherried oak, while the palate is further enhanced with flavors of cinnamon, ginger, toffee popcorn, and maple syrup. This whisky is bottled at cask strength, preserving its natural color and integrity by avoiding chill filtration. The Aultmore 2008 DT Sherry Octave Finish #9529053 stands as a testament to the artistry of Duncan Taylor and the heritage of the Aultmore distillery, offering a truly unique and memorable drinking experience.
