Auchentoshan 15 Year Old Tasting Notes
Official tasting notes
A wonderful sultana and raisin character that gets better the longer the whisky sits in the glass.
Ed's review
Colour: Natural colour, dusty rose, with a lovely pink hue to it. Oily in the glass with prominent legs.
Nose: Strawberries, malt and oak. Sultanas and Turkish delight. A certain creaminess - milk chocolate with pink peppercorns. Very appetising.
Palate: Medium to full mouthfeel. Juicy with redcurrant and strawberries. Light malt loaf. Raisins in syrup with stem ginger and orange peel. A touch of spice. Alcohol is well integrated.
Finish: Medium to long finish with red fruits fading into orchard fruits, malt and a little wood spice.
Overall: Loved this, really delightful - quality single malt in a quality cask. A great spin on Auchentoshan whisky.
About this Lady of The Glen whisky
Auchentoshan is a triple-distilled whisky produced to be light and delicate. Lady of The Glen has aged this particular Auchentoshan in a refill hogshead for 14 years, before finishing for six months in a first fill ex-tawny port cask for layers of caramel and dried fruit sweetness.
This rarely bottled single malt by is unusual in that every drop from the distillery is triple distilled producing a light and sweet make that reaches its peak when it becomes a teenager. Lady of The Glen has complimented this freshness with a six month finish in an ex-tawny port cask offering a wonderful sultana and raisin character that gets better the longer the whisky sits in the glass.
