The Partners series features exclusive bottlings of single cask single malts, that are firstly shortlisted in a selection by the team of experts at La Maison du Whisky, with each bottling presenting a unique expression of a renowned Scottish distillery. This particular cask, selected by Navigate World Whisky, is a testament to the unique character of its originating distillery Aultmore, showcasing the diverse regional influences that define the rich tapestry of Scottish whisky.
Each release captures the provenance of each distillery and features singular artworks, also selected and curated by Navigate World Whisky, adding further collectability to this growing portfolio of exceptional malts.
Affectionately nicknamed the “Nip of the Buckie Road” by its local fishermen, this single malt’s distillery is located ten kilometers from Aultmore in the small port of Buckie in the Moray Firth. It has always been popular in the region with its reputation for aromas of light fruit and remarkably fresh texture. This single malt is no exception and honours the legacy of this distillery, which was completely rebuilt in the early 1970s.
