Auchentoshan 12 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky [700ML]

DESCRIPTION

Auchentoshan is one of the few Lowland distilleries still operating in Scotland. This style of whisky is typically characterized as “lighter” than most other single malts. Although you shouldn’t rely on geographical location for flavour, this is one case where the traditional triple-distilling method of lowland malts does produce a gentler base spirit. That said, there is more flavour to this malt than you might expect.

This Auchentoshan 12-year-old expression replaced the old 10 years when the range was totally revamped. Elegant and refined, with classic Auchentoshan notes of vanilla and almonds. Every last drop of this spectacular Scotch is triple distilled and then matured for over 12 years.

TO THE PALATE

TO THE END

Gingery and slightly drying with slight sweetness from the barley and a pleasant lingering nuttiness.
