Description
A very uniquely shaped Square Barrel bottling from Aultmore containing 16 year old single cask Speyside malt whisky.
In the early 1850's a young Captain named Ross Chapman decided to make barrel storage and whisky transportation aboard ships easier & safer. Along with a cooper friend of his from Speyside, the pair designed and perfected the Square Barrel. These were great for rolling ships but not good for rolling in the warehouse!!

About the Distillery:
Aultmore is a whisky distillery in Keith, Banffshire, producing an eponymous single malt whisky. Its name is a derived from the phrase An t-Allt Mòr, Gaelic for big burn, referring to its water source the Auchinderran burn. It was founded in 1895 by Alexander Edward, then owner of the Benrinnes distillery. The distillery was originally powered by a waterwheel, and was soon adapted to use a steam engine instead, which ran day and night for 70 years.
