Great Vintage

That decanter of Signatory's Cask Strength Collection... I'm going to say it again: wonderful to see, terrible to pour from. Fortunately, it's all about the content and that in this case is my favorite  Lowlander at cask strength after it was allowed to rest in a bourbon barrel for a quarter of a century. Auchentoshan 1992 you said? I buy it blind.

The nose offers barely sugars, vanilla and coconut, but also some yellow fruit that flirts with the tropics. Mango. Green banana, papaya. It has something Irish. And something that reminds me a bit of mustard. Very pleasant and intriguing.

Great mouthfeel. Creamy and rich. Banana, mango, lime, guava, pineapple, licorice, pepper, nutmeg, soft drying oak... yes, this is the better work! Soft herbal notes, but above all quasi tropical fruit. Delicious!

The medium finish is relatively fruity, but especially soft and sweet.

Not very complex, but very pleasant. 1992, it remains a great vintage.
