Long overdue, I'm sitting with a small glass of aultmore 12 year old. Bottled at 46% and non-chill filtered.
I added water before I thought to write this, so these are my thoughts with about a teaspoon of water, not neat.

The nose is full of fresh fruit; apples, grapes, melon, something almost like under-ripe banana. Also a soft heathery note.
The palate is fresh and light but it's got a fair amount of bite from the alcohol. More apples and other unspecific fruit. Perhaps a touch of something aniseed in the development and a soft but long, grassy finish.

I think this is a surprisingly complex whisky and there's much more underneath that I can't quite identify but it's very pleasant and well worth the time and money.

I'll probably be back later with the bowmore 9 year old, too...
