Taster

Nose: Very citric: tangerine, lemon, alomst orange muscat, with light malt. Sadly, water drives the top notes away leaving mealy malt.

Palate: Sweet. Orange jelly. The sweetness stays alongside the malt. There's also a slight metallic edge.

Finish: Crisp.

Comment: Sweet and simple.

Score: 7

Taster

Nose: Perfumery. Light vanilla. A suggestion of tangerines. A hint of very dark chocolate.

Palate: Rich. Cream-filled pralines. Hazelnuts.

Finish: Gingery. Spicy.

Comment: I have not previously encountered such a full expression of Auchentoshan, but the style suits the whisky.

Score: 8.3
