Duncan Taylor·The OctaveAultmore

Duncan Taylor Aultmore is a single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, bottled from a single cask at 54.0% ABV. This release was distilled in 2017, aged 8 years, and finished or matured in an Amontillado cask, a style of sherry cask known for adding nutty and dry wine-led character.

For a novice drinker, this is likely to show a youthful, full-strength Speyside profile with added sherry-cask influence. Expect a more concentrated and cask-driven style than an entry-level bottling, with the single-cask nature meaning it may show its own individual quirks.
