Aultmore was founded in 1897 by Alexander Edward, one of Scotland’s well-known distillers from that era. For a long time, Aultmore was mostly used for blends such as Dewar’s. It was very popular with blenders, who rated it ‘Top Class’. Up until recently Aultmore wasn’t available much as single malt, but that changed in 2014. Now there’s a whole core range, including the entry-level Aultmore, 12 Y which is a great example of why this whisky is so popular with blenders — a beautiful malt!
