Auchentoshan
11 Year Old 1999 Malts of Scotland Oloroso hogshead #2412 Xmas Bottling for Fulldram Number of bottles : 186 ABV : 56,4% Color : Deep bronze Tasted on 17/04/2011 |
Pear Syrup
The Belgian whisky club
Fulldram bottled this oloroso hogshead last Christmas. It was filled
with Auchentoshan in 1999 and was sleeping peacefully in the cellars
of Malts of Scotland when it was discovered. The whisky has a
wonderful, deep bronze color. Only 186 bottles were obtained. I'm
glad to have one of them in my collection.
Do you know Waffles of Liege?
Thin waffles served with dark pear syrup. That's very prominently
present on the nose, together with brown sugar, prunes, raisins on
rum, baked appels and baked banana, balsamico, almonds and cinnamon.
Amazing sherry nose. Being A Toshan Man, this makes my heart swell.
A-ma-zing!
On the palate too, it starts
very sweet and syrupy. Candied fruits, nuts, but also a bitter (but
not oaky) touch of wood, clove and real Italian espresso. Quality
stuff, this!
The finish remains sweet and
very spicy until the - literally - bitter end!
What a majestic Auchentoshan!
And at relative young age, too. Good cask selection by the boys and
girls of the Fulldram whisky club.
