Aultmore 15 Year Old Ruby Marsala Finish Whisky
The Aultmore 15 Year Old Ruby Marsala Finish Whisky is a refined and expressive single malt that brings together classic Speyside character and the vibrant soul of Sicily. Crafted as a limited-edition release, this whisky showcases how thoughtful finishing can elevate an already elegant spirit. Matured for 15 years in American oak refill hogsheads, it then spends six months finishing in Marsala Rubino Dolce casks, unlocking layers of ripe fruit, richness, and depth.
Bottled at a confident 46% ABV, this whisky remains non-chill filtered and free from added colouring. As a result, it delivers a naturally full texture and an authentic flavour profile. Each sip reflects Aultmore’s grassy, herbal DNA while embracing the bold influence of ruby Marsala wine.
Speyside Elegance Meets Sicilian Character
Aultmore is often described as a hidden gem of Speyside. Historically valued by master blenders, it rarely appears as a single malt. However, when it does, it impresses with clarity, balance, and finesse. This 15-year-old expression builds on that reputation, while the Marsala finish adds a lively Mediterranean twist.
Marsala Rubino Dolce casks originate from Sicily’s historic port city of Marsala. Made from red grapes, these casks are rich in tannins and red fruit sweetness. Consequently, they infuse the whisky with notes of cherries, ripe plums, and pomegranate. Despite this influence, the finish never overwhelms. Instead, it complements the spirit’s smooth and grassy core.
Tasting Notes and Aroma
On the nose, vibrant summer fruits rise first. Juicy cherries and ripe plums lead, followed by subtle herbal notes. As the whisky opens up, hints of pomegranate bring brightness and energy. On the palate, the texture feels smooth and mouth-coating. The fruit character remains bold yet balanced, while gentle sweetness and soft oak create harmony. The finish is long, fruity, and refreshingly elegant.
