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.
Very well made alc. distillate. Nose - sweet honeyed citrus Palate - vanilla orange aniseed Finish - medium dry light sherry
nose: some oak and leaf with hints of honey palate: sweet sherry, notes of smoke finish: dry and oak absolutely not a bad one for that price, but you can find better
Toffee and malt. A hint of smoke, but not unapproachable. Just sweet enough and doesn't burn too much. Not sure why many on here hate on Auchentoshan 12, but this is easy drinking enough to serve to buddies over for a small get together and when they want something more interesting, you can break out other favourite bottles. Consider the Auchentoshan 12 the appetizer to the main course, and a good test to make sure you don't waste your Aberfeldy 21's or Lagavulin on someone who won't appreciate.
A good starter, nice and clean before bringing out my favorites. The dryness opens my taste buds and sets me up for a nice visit from my other Scottish friends. A little water goes a long way to bring out the sweetness.
I think that all those who have given negative reviews here must remember one thing: We all have different taste buds and preferences and you have to be a little careful with damning judgments, as these can of course hurt those who really like this whiskey. All talk about "beginners" is a bit pathetic, there are very experienced whiskey drinkers who actually also like Auchentoshan 12 Years. A little more professionalism is desirable. I myself think that this whiskey is clearly affordable and good in the category it represents.
