product Details

Aultmore 12 Year Old John and Robert Harvey 1970s

Built in 1896 by Alexander Edward, Aultmore distillery was procured by John Dewar & Sons in 1923. They joined DCL two years later. So key is it to the Dewar's blends, that it has been part of their outfit ever since, and has rarely been bottled as an official single malt. United Distillers included it in the Flora & Fauna range of the 1990s, but it was not until after Bacardi acquired the Dewar's brand and associated distilleries in 1998 that Aultmore's excellent spirit was rewarded with a permanent range. 

Despite being synonymous with Dewar's, DCL actually licensed the distillery to John and Robert Harvey, another of the blenders in their portfolio. They produced these occasional bottlings in the 1970s and 1980s, and they are very rare. This is from the latter decade. The Flora & Fauna became the first distillery bottling when the license was returned in 1991.
