[Good/Very Good, Interesting] The official single cask Aultmore 19 year old matured for the UK's The Whisky Shop in 2015. Although not stated on the bottle, it is said to have been matured in Rioja wine casks for the last 5 years of its 19-year maturation period. The duration is so long that it can no longer be considered just a finish. From the first impression of the aroma, there is a very sweet and diverse fruity sensation, with an apple note reminiscent of calvados rather than Rioja, which was particularly impressive. When drinking, there is still a diverse concentrated fruity sensation and quite sweet, with slightly flat wine cask sweetness but also astringent notes that prevent it from being overly syrupy. Although not common, this specification seems to indicate a new type of dessert whisky, which was interesting.
