A stunning Auchentoshan from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, Batch 1 features a superb illustration of bar maestro Ryan Chetiyawardana thinking up a recipe for a delicious whisky cocktail. Auchentoshan works particularly well in mixed drinks on account of the fact it's triple-distilled. Lovely. This is Batch 1 - a release of 154 numbered bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains, bourbons, blended malts and blends from a variety of renowned distilleries. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic-novel-style labels.
Lovely parma violets on the nose, followed by sherry with hints of pipe tobacco and spice. A touch of kirsch and acacia blossom.
Creamy, sweet palate entry - marmalade on top of soft malt and orange blossom honey. Hints of lavender and wood shavings. A little candied peel develops.
Long, spicy finish. Apple peel, a soupcon of almond and prune juice on the tail.
Fantastic - a wonderful interplay between the floral Auchentoshan and the richness from the sherry cask.
