Description

Distilled in 1991, this cask-strength single cask single malt from Auchentoshan spent an impressive 32 years maturing. The cask was cracked open by indie bottler Halcyon Spirits in 2023, releasing a total of 140 bottles.

Nose

Initially a wave of sweetness with delicate and light meadow florals. The gentleness of the bouquet is underscored and further enhanced with ripe stoned fruit of peaches and apricots, comforted with a misting of honey.

Palate

The gentleness of the nose belies the flavour power of the palate. The sweetness is intense but tempered by perfectly balanced baking spices – ginger and nutmeg control the sweetness with constraint. Malt loaf and deep sherried Christmas cake takes everything deeper and for a lowland malt this is astonishingly mature and nuanced. Toasted oak signals the finish is beginning and the tail off is long, fruity with the return of the peaches and apricots, before lingering on a slight drying herbal note.
