A Lowland single malt matured in 3 different casks, namely: Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, bourbon casks and Oloroso Sherry casks. A distinctive triple distilled whisky from Auchentoshan.
Cooked fruit, sherry, toffee, a rum-like quality and notes of Bas Armagnac distilled circa 1940.
Rich. Liqueur cherries in dark chocolate, more sherried fruit, ripe dark forest fruits, like a Black Forest Gateaux.
Superb, led by thick dark treacle and toffee notes and chewy wooded notes, balanced with a green fruit edge.
"notes of Bas Armagnac distilled circa 1940." ?? Somebody was allowed to get carried away.
Beautiful dram. Imagine lacing your mum's best sticky toffee pudding with custard and sherry then putting it in a glass. Absolutely delicious - a great alternative to a desert, with I'm sure less calories.
