Aultmore 2005 13 Year Old 'Gordon & Macphail' Connoisseurs Choice Whisky 700ml
Speyside single malt, matured in a refill bourbon barrel (so likely lighter wood influence), and bottled at cask strength for maximum character and intensity — typical of many “indi-bottler” single-cask releases.
Nose: Bright citrus and fresh-malt character: lemon curd, sherbet, vanilla ice-cream — creamy, inviting, and lightly zesty.
Palate: Smooth arrival with vanilla and soft oak, mingling with citrus (lime / pink grapefruit) and a subtle pepperiness (white pepper).
Finish: Long, lingering finish: charred oak and fresh citrus fade slowly, leaving echoes of vanilla, light oak spice and a clean citrus-malt after-glow.
