    An explosive mixture, IMHO, you can drink it but it's difficult ... especially in summer (((
    obviously required a long time to breathe, the whole evening did not help him ...
    sorry ... on a summer evening we recklessly opened a bottle ... we must try it in winter ...

  3. man2392 scored this whisky 84 points Expert Senior

    Nose: lingonberry jam, cardamom buns, redcurrant jelly and rye bread, toasted cloves, cacao nibs and purple carrots, tamarillos and verjus
    Palate: black cherry sauce, rosehips and Fry's Turkish Delight
    Finish: raspberry jam doughnuts and wet oak chips, parsnips and mastiha

    With water
    Nose: herbal, rhododendrons, apricot kernels, dark chocolate lebkuchen, pink wafers
    Palate: honeyed, damson preserve and grenadine
    Finish: Jaffa Cakes and orange oil

    feels better balanced than the 18yo single cask.

  4. crcornell scored this whisky 78 points Expert Junior

    The wine cask finish adds an extra dimension which has been done elegantly not overpowering the spirit.

    One of the more preferred Auchentoshan’s I have tried.
    • Nose
      75 75
      Sweet beginnings with apple, rose, liquorice and milk chocolate. Baked goods of jelly donuts and sugar loaded cereals with a touch of cinnamon.
    • Taste
      81 81
      Fruitiness with passionfruit, red grape, dates and cherries. Followed by vanilla, pencil cases and a green herbaceous tinge.
    • Finish
      78 78
      Finished with a slight wood driven tannic grip, the grape persisting with a spice similar to craft cola or root beer.

  5. dandan798 scored this whisky 88 points Expert Senior

    Smells light and fruity but packs a wood-influenced punch! This is not a dram for everyone. Has the character of a big barbarian weapon-smith.

    • Taste

      chocolate, grapes, astringent, cloves, big spice, vanilla, leather, tobacco, old wood

  6. detachedblue scored this whisky 86 points Connoisseur

    This one gives big and dignified noses, however, the palate is a little bit watery, not very complex though.
    • Nose
      In a blind tasting, I felt this whisky is really old and big, tobacco, mushroom and fresh grapes, metallic and sea air.
    • Taste
      The palate is simpler, sweet and leathery, fresh cut herbs.
    • Finish
      Minty and very refreshing
