Auchentoshan Distillery
ABV 46%
An uplifting and refreshing whisperer. Perfect morning dram with a bowl of fruit and cereal. Can take a dash of water to cut the edges.

Taster
Nose: Light, restrained at first nose. Vanilla infused herbal tea. A citrussy note. Something green. Freshly cut lettuce. Quite delicate.
Palate: Lovely smoothness. Fruity. Pear drop with some lemon. Drying on ground ginger.
Finish: Surprisingly lingering, slightly numbing because of the spiciness.
Comment: An uplifting and refreshing whisperer. Perfect morning dram with a bowl of fruit and cereal. Can take a dash of water to cut the edges.
Score: 7.7

Comment: Round, sweet and well balanced. Like a packet of Starburst sweets.
