Firkin Rare Tasting Notes
Official tasting notes
Dried fruits, rich malt, sweet honey and baking spices throughout the palate, with a long finish. Delicious!
Ed's review
Colour: Natural colour; pale dusty gold. Oily in the glass, with thick parallel tears running down the side.
Nose: Red berries with vanilla cream. Soft malt bread with butter. A little fudge, a little oak.
Palate: Stewed apples and pears. Redcurrants and blackcurrants macerated in sugar. Lemon and vanilla tart. Cereal drizzled with honey.
Finish: Medium finish. Fruit, malt and a touch of gentle warming spice.
About this Aultmore Whisky
The Aultmore Distillery is located on the Foggie moss burn outside Keith in Speyside. The stretch of the road leading to the distillery often disappears in a blanket of fog. So even finding the distillery is hard, let alone single malt Aultmore whiskies. Most Aultmore whiskies find themselves in blended scotch. This Firkin whisky really is rare.
Firkin Whisky Co paired an Aultmore 2010 with Marsala wine in one of their fabulous double wood custom casks. The result is a unique and satisfying whisky. A unique and awesome dram under the Firkin Rare label.
