Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Rife with toasty oak and vanilla spice. Chocolate cake and a lovely grassiness, damp, yet drying. Crystallised ginger.

Palate

Toasty vanilla, dark nuttiness, chestnut perhaps and something zesty, softening slightly after a time.

Finish

A malty finish, with a little custard and fresh flowers.

Nice,,,but...

Perfectly pleasant but a bit polite all around...there's spice...fruit...a deep vanillaesque finish....but for an 18 year old whisky I would expect more...and there's little wood...wood is what makes a more mature Scotch...so enjoy but don't expect it to change your life

Delay recommended.

It's fairly common that if you open a bottle of whisky and have a few drams then leave it to rest for a month or two you will come back to a better dram. This whisky proves the point more than most, a decent whisky at the start turned into a great whisky after a time. The oak vinegar dispels and the spirit opens with a balanced harmony of light spice, fruitiness, and hazelnut and almond dryness. I do admit bias, after my first bottle of the 18 I'll have to drive a whole 3 miles to get my next one from the distillery shop. It took me 25 years to make the trip, silly me.

Not a Review

Not a review, but disappointed that it is only 43%. Would have liked to see a bit higher, around 46% or 48%.

Fruity!

Got a miniature and bought a friend a bottle for his birthday but wished I'd bought myself one too. The new Jura Elixir is the closest thing I've tasted.

Grown Up Lowlander

This expression is very oily and is glued to the glass with it's nice and round golden sheen. The tears come down after a good while, promising good things to come. It's like looking at the body of a shapely woman. The nose is grand: fruity with honey, vanilla, almonds and a bit of tobacco leaves and green tea. After a while, add banana and a tad of spice (nutmeg). Wonderful. The first sip is fresh, clean and flowery, with honey, ginger and sweet barley. Feisty and yet reserved. A lot less playful than the 12 Year Old (which remains my favorite). This one is truly a grown up lowland. Respect! The finish is rather long with nuts, raisins and dry oak. This is pure enjoyment. It makes a man (or me at least) happy. This is a nice, well balanced dram with a lot of character and a great example of good Lowland whisky in general and a grand Auchentoshan in particular.
