Sipping Shed Aultmore 11 Tasting Notes

Nose: Sherry cask maturation is evident. Classic dried fruits, toffee, honey with milky chocolate and coffee in the background. The distillate adds fresh apple, earthy heather notes, dunnage warehouse and a little minerality. Keep nosing and discover faint aromas of Bakewell tart, liquorice and nutmeg.

Palate: The palate delivers the nose with precision. The sherry cask influence has a level of clarity and control that leaves space for the Aultmore to make its mark and they share the limelight well. There’s a light malty note and a touch of smoke emerging, with hints of heather and a gentle minerality that balance the sweetness.

Finish: Medium length. Moves effortlessly from sherry to heather with a gentle smoky dryness.

About this Sipping Shed whisky

Bottled just 3 months on from Batch 1 and from the same cask, The Sipping Shed's 2nd Batch of Aultmore is not the carbon copy you might expect. This batch reveals more distillery character as well as a touch of smoke. The sherry cask influence is refined, clean and elegant. It complements the lighter character of Aultmore. Taming the strength to 48.5% gives a more open whisky yet retains body and depth easily lost at lower strengths.

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.
