If you can help me expand my whisky palate, especially Auchentoshan, get in touch with me. Much obliged!
Auchentoshan
12 Year Old Official Bottling, 2008 Number of bottles: undisclosed ABV : 40% Color : Full Gold Tasted on 03/10/2009 |
Must be nuts!
Being a novice, I had not yet heard of Auchentoshan
until a year ago, let alone know how to pronounce it (apparantly
it's ocken-toshan or something like it). But this 12 year old, that
I got as a birthday gift from co-workers, really is a damn good
dram.
The nose is very sweet with a load of caramel, a
whiff of nuts and a spoonful of honey. I like it. A lot!
The taste is sweet, but not overly so. Just a tad of
lemon, but again loads of caramel and honey.
The finish is medium lenght, sweet and dry.
I like it a lot! With my birthday coming up again
soon, I'm going to try to get my co-workers to get me the Three Wood
:-) (And while it may have nothing to do with the quality of the
whisky, I love the shape of the (new) bottle).
