Awesome Auchentoshan single malt, matured for a generous 22 years between 1999 and 2022. The whisky was initially filled into refill bourbon barrels, before being transferred to a fresh sherry butt for the final 20 months, imparting a wealth of buttery vanilla, dense fruit, and spice to the malt. Upon opening, the cask yielded a total of 696 bottles, which were independently released by Signatory for its Cask Strength Collection.
Vegetal malt bolstered by a good helping of dried, sherried fruits and fresh vanilla pod, with hints of floral citrus poking through.
Rich cherries followed by warming cinnamon spice and hints of herbal barely. Sweet sultanas and clove-studded oranges begin to make an appearance.
Drying oak, a touch of maple with sweet caramelised nuts balancing prickles of pepper.
