Aultmore 1974 - 21 years old - Rare Malts Selection

As part of the Rare Malts Selection, this Aultmore 1974 expression was bottled by the distillery itself at a natural cask strength of 60.9% volume. This limited edition bottling was released to the public in 1996, following a maturation period of 21 years. Notably, this series was designed by Diageo to highlight some of the lesser-known gems in their extensive whisky portfolio.

This expression from Aultmore is distinct due to its association with the Rare Malts series, which has now been discontinued and is hence greatly sought after by collectors. The bottle number for each release varied, further emphasizing the limited availability of this expression. The production of this whisky shortly after the distillery's reopening in 1971 adds to its unique and valuable narrative.

In its original packaging, the Aultmore 1974 Rare Malts Aged 21 Years represents a significant piece of whisky history, harking back to a period of growth and change within the distillery. As a result, it holds considerable value for both whisky investors and collectors, who appreciate the blend of heritage, rarity, and craftmanship embodied in this bottle.
