Aultmore 15 Year Old Dry Marsala Finish Whisky
The Aultmore 15 Year Old Dry Marsala Finish Whisky is a refined Speyside single malt that rewards curiosity and patience. Crafted for whisky lovers who value balance and complexity, this expression brings together Aultmore’s naturally grassy and herbal spirit with the elegant dryness of rare Marsala casks. The result feels both warming and sophisticated, making it an excellent choice for relaxed evenings or thoughtful gifting.
After fifteen years of careful maturation, the whisky receives a six-month finish in Marsala Vergine Riserva Oro casks. These casks come from the driest and most complex style of Marsala wine. As a result, the finish enhances depth without adding cloying sweetness. Instead, it sharpens the character and allows subtle flavours to shine.
Dry Marsala Cask Finish
The Marsala Vergine Riserva Oro casks play a central role in shaping this whisky. Aged for at least ten years before use, these casks deliver a dry, structured profile. Moreover, the “Oro” designation reflects their natural golden colour, achieved through time rather than additives. Because of this, the whisky remains pure and honest in style.
This dry finish complements Aultmore’s spirit beautifully. Orchard fruit notes develop slowly, while spice and cocoa tones add warmth. The finish feels clean, precise, and long-lasting, which makes each sip memorable.
Tasting Notes & Aroma Profile
On the nose, baked apples rise first, followed by tangy quince and gentle spice. As the whisky opens, hints of cloves and subtle herbal notes emerge. On the palate, the texture feels smooth yet lively. Flavours of baked orchard fruit lead the way, while dark chocolate adds a refined bittersweet edge. The balance between fruit, spice, and dryness remains consistent from start to finish.
The aftertaste lingers with elegance rather than weight. Because of this, the whisky never overwhelms the senses. Instead, it invites another sip.
Craftsmanship & Authentic Character
Bottled at 46% ABV, this whisky stays non-chill filtered and free from added colour. These choices preserve mouthfeel and flavour integrity. Furthermore, they reflect Aultmore’s commitment to quality and transparency. Founded in 1897, the distillery has long earned respect among blending masters. Today, its single malts finally receive the spotlight they deserve.
The Aultmore 15 Year Old Dry Marsala Finish stands out for its restraint and precision. Rather than masking the spirit, the cask finish elevates it. For drinkers who prefer complexity over sweetness, this bottle delivers lasting satisfaction.
