Auchentoshan
Scotland
Single Malt
Lowland distillery Auchentoshan's flagship single malt whisky, famously triple-distilled which is unusual for a Scotch. This contributes to its signature smooth character, however. It's been matured in both American oak and sherry casks.
A cereal-sweet nose with notes of guava and mango, with a drizzle of honey.
Oaky and sweet palate, with barley sugar, a little passion fruit and vanilla custard too. Perhaps some rose petal jelly in there.
A lengthy, dry and oaky finish with barley sweetness and cocoa powder.
I say this not because I hate on it. It is what it is. No character and bland. In a blind tasting vs Cardhu 12, it falls short in richness of smell, body of taste and lingering finish. Both were 'easy drinking', sure, but with the Cardhu, you can feel the character of the tipple. The Auchentoshan is just... bland. Probably good for the base whisky of Penicilin cocktail
To me this is slightly below average, the nose is abit harsh with some grassy note. The taste is rather bland, especially after about 30 minutes, it goes completely tasteless and I had to pour down the sink. You need to finish this whisky fast else it goes tasteless, even within the bottle. My last few dram of the bottle goes bad really fast. To me i would not buy Auchentoshan again..
I really like this! A few years ago, I received a sample among a wide range of other single malts. Auchentoshen 12 stood out a mile. Fruity, and spiced yet mild; no harsh notes of smoke or tannins. I’ve been coming back to this as my staple ever since!
Started drinking Scotch a few years ago. Tried many and have settled with Auchentoshan. Unique and exquisite. The only Scotch I will ever drink!
I am only starting on my whisky 'journey' and after a fair bit of research picked a few bottles to start off with. The first few were OK but still left me wondering if Whisky was really for me. Then I tried this little stunner. Absolutely delicious, smooth, lots of flavour (that you can actually taste) and a finish that doesn't burn your throat off. Highly recommend.
