Review & Tasting Notes
A sherry forward Lowland Scotch that got mixed reviews from the StB tasting panel. A tasty pour neat, a decent candidate for a simple minded cocktail. We liked it and we think you will too!
| Tasting Notes | |
|---|---|
| Color | Golden honey |
| Nose | A Single Malt Scotch whisky with a distinctive aroma of crème brulee to the nose with a burst of citrus and then the signature nuttiness and green leafiness you would expect from Auchentoshan. Honey and sherry witl almond and apple on the nose |
| Palate | A smooth whisky taste with sweet notes along with hints of tangerine and lime characterize this 12 year old. Tobacco and toffee show up with oak and more sherry |
| Finish | This particular whisky offers a gingery and slightly dry finish with a pleasant, lingering nuttiness. The toffee lingers on with clove, vanilla custard and more crème brulee |
