Tasting notes

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Fruity. Raisins, especially dates, orange peel.
Palate: Beautiful balance of dark, syrupy, fruity, maturation flavours and cedary, oily, marshmallow, characteristics from the spirit itself.
Finish: Gentle, long, warming, lemon grass, spice.
Comment: Matching Auchentoshan with Pedro Ximinez is like putting Benny Lynch in the ring with Marciano. What do you get? It's unimaginable, but in whisky it works.

8.3

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Malt along with dried fruit and nut, then burnt toffee, red fruits and real sherried quality. Water shows cake mix and prune.
Palate: Very sherried with a certain soft, sweet fruitiness in the centre and dry maltiness underneath.
Finish: Dry, burnt fruit.
Comment: A lot of wood-derived flavours and aromas here. Has a certain swaggering style.
