A rare treat for fans of this crisp, fruity Speyside whisky, frequently exported when it’s not doing its day job as a key component of Dewar’s blend. In fact, this is one of three 15-year-old sibling releases from Aultmore, all beginning their lives in refill American oak and finished in casks that previously held different styles of Marsala.

Marsala is a sweet, amber-toned fortified wine named for its home, the port of Marsala in Sicily. Aultmore explores the influence of three of its many varieties in these limited releases, with each carefully monitored six-month finish emphasising a different side of the distillery’s complex character.

The Ruby Marsala Cask edition, finished in Marsala Rubino Dolce casks, plays to Aultmore’s fruity side, lacing the whisky with bold red fruits and tannins. Bottled at 46% abv, natural colour and non-chill filtered.

Vibrant and aromatic, with bold notes of ripe red cherries and juicy plums on the palate and a tangy, tannic note of pomegranate on the finish.
