TBWC Aultmore 38YO 500mL

The Aultmore 38 Year Old (Batch 17) from That Boutique‑y Whisky Company is a rare, ultra‑aged Speyside single malt distilled in May 1982 and matured for nearly four decades in a single hogshead before being bottled at cask strength 54.3% ABV. On the nose, it’s refined and elegant — layers of sweet orchard fruits (pear, apple), blood orange zest, and gentle malt sweetness balanced by soft oak and a subtle forest‑floor earthiness. The palate is full‑bodied and complex, opening with bright citrus marmalade and honeyed malt, followed by woody spice (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg) and a faint herbal undertone. The texture is silky yet powerful, showcasing the depth that only extended maturation can deliver. The finish is long, warming, and sophisticated — fruit‑spice interplay lingers with notes of dried fruit, orange oil, gentle cinnamon heat, and mature oak tannins that slowly fade into a delicate dryness.
