So today is my birthday and I have received many whiskys that I will be reviewing in the next couple days.I had a few of my friends over for a scotch tasting last night and since this was voted the worst it was the first one I wanted to try the next day because of how highly reviewed it is (I havetried the 12 year but wasn't too impressed by it) I thought maybe it was because we had about 20 different single malts to try and our pallets were muttled. So here we go with the review:beautiful color nice and dark smells like bourbon and sherry, tastes like cherries, dark chocolate,quite oaky but theres quite a bit of alcohol taste which is the same problem I had with the 12 year but this is definitely better not quite as harsh . Don't know if I would buy this again but it's certainly worth trying glad I got it as a gift though.Also got the american oak so I will be reviewing that as well. Cheers the Sugarbear
I like smoky peat flavors sometimes but Auchentoshan 3 wood is the best Scotch I have ever tried for the taste. Rich, sweet, smooth, complex. Toffee, dark fruits, nice wood flavors very refined. Best of the best taste wise. Others, especially Islays may deliver a bigger punch with more warmth and stronger buzz. But for straight up refined taste (with no peat that is) this is absolutely my favorite and you would have to pay MUCH more to top this. I pay around $60 give or take, wish I could find for ~$15 less so I could drink it more. Don't get me wrong this gives you a nice buzz, but maybe it's the triple distillation it just doesn't hit me like Laphroig 10 year. The Auchentoshan Three Wood (ATW) is 12 year I believe (10 years in bourbon casks, then 1 each in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks). Absolute perfection for the price, still should be a bit less, as ALL these malts should be. It's Criminal that poor people can't drink them when they need them the most.
I wish there was a way to give stars to reviews. I would give "Love Child" 5 stars for sure. That said, this is a very interesting whisky, though I will never be able to think of it the same way . . .
It's basically like Macallan 18 and Oban 14 had sweaty Scotch sex on a field of heather, and then 12 years later their beautiful love child was born, swam across the ocean and climbed into my mouth. Yum.
Not impressive. I would like more complexity.
