Aultmore 22 Year Old 1993 'Sweet Mint Infusion' Wemyss

Boy, I have only tried 4 Aultmore up to now, imagine that. Anyway, for this 5th one I sought out an independent bottling by Wemyss, who released this back in 2013. ‘Sweet Mint Infusion’ is the name.

This one was bottled by Carn Mor in their prestigious Celebration of the Cask series. It is no less than 29 years old. The nose is very aromatic, I must say. Loads of lemongrass, butter, applesauce and almond paste....
