Auchentoshan Heartwood 1l

I’m normally an Islay drinker but have been experimenting with some of their different cask finishes & quite enjoyed them so thought I’d give this a spin when I saw it. I like it. It’s very drinkable and an easy break from heavier whiskies, which I can take a fair amount of time to drink. I don’t know Auchentosh as well as others so may be not to the purists taste but it’s an easy, tasty whisky that even my wife will sip (and she’s not a fan of whisky).

Must be a joke. Smells like newly distilled alcohol. No information about how long it's been matured and I guess the cherry cask has been used only for colour.

Get a Famous Grouse intead for a third of the price

Sweet and cheap but not value for money. No complexion, just bad. Cant finish the bottle.

This one might not be everyone's cup of tea, but you need to consider the process and, what I can only describe as, the desired result: a complex and candied single malt.

Having the ability to read is a wonderful thing. Having read the box, I had an idea of what this whiskey would be like and I'm not disappointed. If innovation rubs you the wrong way or you're a die-hard puritan then this won't appeal to you. If you're open to exploration and a redefinition of a fun, fine whiskey then I suggest you try this one.

I don't believe Auchentoshan knows how to make a bad whiskey. I hope they never prove me wrong.

Reviews are very subjective, but personally, I love the taste and atoms of this!

Weird woody sugary taste. This is worse than a Glenfiddich. It may actually be the worst malt I have ever tasted. What were you even thinking?

I quite like this one, i can see it has gotten some bad reviews but the sweetness of it really appeals to me, I think it's a great whisky, fruity but some how still "dark" and quite delicious.

Oh dear, how can my local distillery do this? It's the triplewood with some old junk casks added. Really shocked that this stuff was called Auchentoshan. The staff must be scunnered by what Suntori tell them to do.

My first impression was that it was Triple Wood with some older sherry and assorted casks added at the end of their three fill life. Not great from my local distillery. It's ok, but there's many better at a lesser price.

it's a Super Malt, a must have in your bar.

Airport version of the available Auchentoshan. It has a rich nose with notes of chocolate, rosewood, molasses. The complexity is addictive and I couldn't help spending more time that usual in admiring it. The tasting notes had plum, peaches and it culminated with a short finish of dry fruits. For me it's the nose that really stands out. Otherwise a smooth drink.
