Single Malt
Scotland
Bourbon
A Lowland single malt whisky from the Auchentoshan distillery, no age statement is given and one assumes it is a younger malt though certainly an enjoyable one. 'Classic' was launched in 2008 to replace the old staple 'Select'.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Fairly sweet, toasty Bourbon notes and creamy vanilla intertwined with lush, ripe cooked fruit. Perhaps coconut.
Fruity with typical Auchentoshan refinement. White peach and crème anglaise.
Clean, a floral freshness, a little more zest with white peach and apple.
This was my first time to try a whisky from the Auchentoshan line. Bought at the local supermarket on inpulse I was suprised for a young whisky I liked it and it has lead my into wanting to try a bottle of their 3 wood next
I bought a bottle of this a while ago as I like to try different malts but although its pleasant enough is just average and too one Dimensional for me. I occasionally have a glass when i'm tasting different scotch's through the evening, but once this bottles gone it wont be replaced 5/10
Wonderful whisky at great price, lots of cream and sweet notes, def buy again
Picked up a bottle for $32. Excellent price for a single malt. While it is not the most complex whiskey in the world I found it to be a very good starter whiskey. Nice light sweet nose. Mild on the palate. Sweet, vanilla, not as complex as a more expensive bottle but excellent for the value. Not a lot of burn for such a young whiskey. I will buy this again and keep it on the shelf for times I don't want to drain my more expensive bottles. Could be a nice go to brand. We should think the distillery for producing such a decent whiskey at such a great price. A very good $32 bottle. Don't expect it to be something you'd pay a lot more for but expect it to be very good in it's price class.
You gotta compare apples with apples. For a young inexpensive scotch I was surprisingly impressed. A little harsh at first but then seemed easier on the palate as I kept tasting it. Was it the best? No. Was it the worst? No. It was a good scotch for a great price. Worth trying to see how you like it for yourself.
