Product description
Aultmore Distillery was built in 1896 by the owner of the Benrinnes Distillery, Alexander Edward.
Its name translates from Gaelic to "Great Stream". In 1923, Edward sold Aultmore to John Dewar & Sons, which in turn became part of the DCL group two years later. In 1998, DCL's successor, Diageo, had to get rid of the Dewar's brand and the potential buyer, Bacardi Ltd, reportedly refused to enter into negotiations if Aultmore were to be excluded from the contract. The distillery currently has two pairs of stills and produces over 3 million liters of distillate per year, most of which goes into Dewar's blends. Aultmore 11 years old is a proposal from The Ultimate Whisky Co. from October 2022. Distilled on November 9, 2010, the whisky was aged in a refilled sherry butt no. 900296 and bottled at 46% abv without chill filtration.
