Auchentoshan 44 Year Old 1966

I loved this whiskey; definitely worth splashing out on for a special occasion. Thanks for recommending it Master of Malt!

Usually being a rye man, I was apprehensive when trying this whiskey... since it was offered to me by a close friend i thought i would give it a shot. First taste was disarming and to be honest since it was my friend's favourite whiskey I felt obliged to to give a positive report. However the second taste was much better. Seeing that it was moderately expensive he exclaimed that he did not want to waste it. It was a while before i had the chance to try it again... A couple of years later during the reception for the renewal of my wedding vows this same friend presented me with a gift of this whiskey. I was very grateful for the extravagant gesture.... It was a few months after this occasion that i had my second encounter with the 1966 Auchentoshan, or so i thought.... It transpired that the whiskey i mistook for the 1966 Auchentoshan was actually another which i enjoyed!
