A very interesting and individualistic expression of Auchentoshan. Takes a drop of water well.

Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: A big initial note of tangerines, becoming closer to Madeira in time, with underlying vanilla.

Palate: Smooth texture; orange segments sprinkled with black pepper. Very lively spices fill the mouth.

Finish: Quite long and spicy, with bitter chocolate orange notes.

Comment: A very interesting and individualistic expression of Auchentoshan. Takes a drop of water well.

Score: 7.5

Joe Bates

Taster

Nose: Light, floral aromas of rose petal and barley sugar.

Palate: Much more muscular on the palate with initial notes of honey sweetness giving way to hot spicy flavours.

Finish: A spicy, dry finish which doesn’t linger overly.

Comment: Seems a little raw and young on the palate, but a little water calms things down and opens up the flavours.

Score: 7.2
