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.

This isn't a bad single malt for the price, but the 12y/o is much better and doesn't cost much more. Triple distillation can't hide the youth of this one, and the combined astringency of the first-fill oak makes this Scotch just a bit too harsh for my liking. An interesting experiment despite its intrinsic rough edges.
I had so much floral honey in my mouth it's like choking as soon as it gets past your lips. Definitely not like most other Scotch or Irish so it gets an 2/5 instead of 1/5. Hoping it makes good mixed drinks because of the citrus/floral/honey but straight or with a drop of water it wasnt good.
The main difference between Irish and Scotch whisky is that Irish whiskey is triple distilled while Scotch is distilled twice. This Scotch breaks that rule and triple distills it making it taste more like an Irish whiskey than a Scotch whisky, but still holding Scotch characteristics. It's good for what it is as well as the price. A good compromise between Scotch and Irish whiskey, but a representation of neither.
Went to Scotland for our honeymoon, did a whisky tasting and hated them all but loved this one. Very easy to drink, smooth and a little sweet vanilla with a slight oakiness. Perfect starter whisky for people who think they don't like whisky.
Not good. My bar ran out of 16 year old Glenlivet and offered this for a buck less. Left half of it in the glass. Wouldn't drink it again.
