Auchentoshan's Springwood expression, which spends its maturation resting in American oak bourbon casks, was released for travel retail. Rich in vanilla and orange, this is a flavoursome Lowland single malt, from a top distillery that triple distils its whisky.
Light and fragrant with classic bourbon-cask vanilla and honey, with hints of orange oil shining through.
Chocolatey on the palate, with continued vanilla fudge and citrus peels.
A rather refreshing palate of lemon and orange.
My friend absolutely loves it, he says it is his favourite.
It's not the worst whiskey in the world as some people have said. It's pretty good. Heavy citrus, perhaps too heavy, I don't think I'd buy it again but I'm not upset to have a bottle. Enjoy in warmer weather or perhaps during the day.
This was as a gift not tasted before. A pleasant citrus aroma initially then a honeyed aroma, a light flavoursome malt. Very smooth.
Hint of citrus, great length, perfect for the summer
Its a little harsh on the nose n palate. A little bit of water is needed to change the flovour profile of this dram.
