Auchentoshan
Scotland
Single Malt
One of a pair of Travel Retail releases from the Auchentoshan distillery in the Lowlands - Blood Oak is a rather dramatically-named single malt in a combination of bourbon casks and red wine casks. They've done quite well with their wine-cask-matured expressions recently, with the 25 Year Old 1988 Wine Cask Finish greatly impressing Jake...
Juicy and rich with elegant wine notes, joined by a touch of golden barley.
Some classic red-wine spiciness starts to ramp up on the palate, with a little bit of Christmas-y clove. Citrus sits in the background.
Spicy and drying on the finish.
Was expecting a lot from this based on glowing review but to my palate this was nowhere near as good as the Arran Amarone or Sauternes expressions that are £20 cheaper. Heading sums it up for me. Would have been four stars if it had been less than £50.
This is really great stuff. Fruity, spicy and complex. One of the better red wine casks I've tried.
This was great stuff. wine and fine finish.
Wow, very smooth and easy to drink. Impressed. It was sweet and nice. I took it neat and with a sprinkle of water.
Very, very unique. Decisive even. Caramel on the nose, very sweet. The palette is easy, quite soft and rounded, with quite a short, but fulfilling finish. I had it with just ice, it didn't need water in my opinion. Very easy to drink and very satisfying. If there was a "session whisky" this would be it. A very capable all rounder.
