Auchentoshan 18 Year Old is first triple distilled then matured over eighteen years in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks. The result of careful maturation in these mellowed oak barrels is a rich and refreshing Lowland Single Malt whisky. Gold summer barley in colour, the nose is infused with notes of fresh tobacco leaf, caramelised sugar, ripe citrus and green tea, with hints of toasted almonds. There's honeyed sweetness on the palate, with fresh spices and woody notes and the unmistakeable smooth, delicate Auchentoshan taste.The finish is lingering, balanced and refreshing. A finely crafted indulgent expression from Auchentoshan. |
