Tasting notes：

Nose: On the nose, a wonderful interplay of two levels, one of which is always reminiscent of aromatic, fruity sherry, while the second and more dominant dimension tells stories of caramel and chocolate along with wood spice and a little furniture polish: I am promised liquid Twix, or Werthers Echte; the alcohol is very pleasantly integrated, which is certainly due to the 17 years.

Mouth: The taste keeps what the nose promises: In addition to the still present fruitiness of the sherry, the caramel impressions continue to dominate and transform over time into wonderful coffee-cream-chocolate plus pleasantly dosed wood spice.
This is by no means a fleeting, but rather a very profound and deep aroma load that leaves an impression and is not stingy with depth; it is precisely the interplay described that ensures that the Aultmore does not become boring.

Finish: In the finish, the coffee-cream-chocolate then transforms into a mocha-espresso note, which ends with an appropriate, by no means unpleasant bitterness; this morph also underlines the complexity and age of the whisky and lasts for a long time.
