Auchentoshan
From the Auchentoshan distillery in the Scottish Lowlands comes a triple distilled single malt Scotch whisky aged entirely in first fill American oak casks. A light, bright whisky with plenty of vanilla sweetness at its centre - great as an aperitif dram.
Oranges and lemons, toffee chunks and milk chocolate. Wafts of grassy air and clotted cream.
Bounty bars, more citrus peels and peaches. A little bit buttery, with golden barley and oak spice developing on the mid palate.
Lasting notes of grapefruit and toffee pennies.
Bought it as it was on offer. It has a bitter after taste and it lacks the usual smooth flavours of the single malts. A disappointment even at the price.
"Wafts of grassy air and clotted cream." Really? Oh come on.
Not a great whisky, not expensive as a great whisky would either. For the price is interesting and tasty.
Smooth but sticky sweet!! ...NOT . This is a delicious whisky with none of the previous notes written by a poor review. Sorry but I know how personal whisky is to each palate, please try this delightful dram xx it's right between smokey and Speyside, for me it's perfect.
I've tried a few Auchentoshans (3 wood being a personal favorite) so I had high hopes for this one. Sadly this whisky was just way too sweet for my tastes. On the nose is coconut, vanilla and some citrus fruit in the background, pleasant. The palate is very sweet with a heavy dose of vanilla and coconut - I didn't really get much, if any, of the citrus notes as the cloying sweetness over-powered any of the other subtle flavors this whisky contained. The finish was medium length, smooth, but very thin and the mouth feel isn't particularly pleasant. The big issue I have with this whisky is that despite the vanilla and coconut it is not actually a rich dram at all - as a result you get a sickly sweetness as opposed to a richer, more well-rounded dram. This is of course just my opinion, those who really love sweet drams may love this, but I think it lack the richness and the type of sweetness may even have a few with sweet tastes looking elsewhere. In contrast to others I don't think the age of the whisky (as it is young) is noticeable as there is little, if any, bite or youthful sharpness. Perhaps the lack of refinement in the sweetness is a sign of its youth but it doesn't feel, in terms of aggression, particularly young.
