A Mature Speyside Expression
Aultmore 18 Year Old is a mature official bottling from the Speyside distillery, released as part of its Foggie Moss range. Matured in bourbon casks and refill sherry casks and bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour and without chill filtration, it offers a refined expression of Aultmore’s traditionally clean and understated spirit. The extended maturation brings greater depth and structure while retaining the elegant character associated with the distillery.

About the Bottling
Released as part of Aultmore’s Foggie Moss range, the 18 Year Old provides a more mature interpretation of the distillery’s understated Speyside style. Its combination of bourbon and refill sherry cask maturation allows the distillate to remain prominent while adding layers of fruit, spice, and oak developed through extended ageing. Bottling at 46% ABV, natural colour, and without chill filtration further strengthens its enthusiast-focused presentation. The expression has also received significant competition recognition, including category wins at the World Whiskies Awards and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
About the Distillery
Founded in 1897 near Keith in Speyside, Aultmore has historically been highly regarded as a blending malt while maintaining a comparatively discreet presence as a single malt. Its association with the mist-covered Foggie Moss surrounding the distillery has become central to its modern identity. Mature official releases such as the 18 Year Old provide an opportunity to explore the character of a Speyside distillery whose whisky was, for much of its history, encountered more often within blends than as a standalone bottling.
