Founded in 1896 in Speyside, Scotland, The Aultmore Distillery, located just north of Keith, Moray, is a distinguished producer of single malt Scotch whisky. Established by Alexander Edward, a prolific whisky entrepreneur who also founded Craigellachie and owned Benrinnes, Aultmore derives its name from the Gaelic “An t-Allt Mòr,” meaning “big burn”, referring to its water source, the Auchinderran Burn.

The Aultmore is beautifully isolated in a perfect location off a route that runs from a fishing port to Keith. The distillery had to close during World War I due to the rationing of supplies. It reopened in 1923 when it was purchased by John Dewar & Sons. It changed hands a number of times before being acquired again by John Dewar & Sons (by now a Bacardi subsidiary) in 1998.

With a production capacity of 3.5 million litres of alcohol annually, the distillery prioritises quality through long fermentation and small stills, crafting fragrant, fruity whiskies. This blend of heritage and modern investment positions Aultmore as an appealing prospect for whisky cask investors.
