Cask Number #816738
Limited: 231 bottles
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet vanillas mixes with lavender and violet in a posie of summer flowers and well aged whisky. A combination of old leather bound books and marshmallows. This is joined by stewed pears and clove to make it a stunning summer scent.
Palate: There is a lot to live up to so here goes! Vibrantly sweet, soft and rich. Dates, succulent sultanas, muscovado sugar and chilli. It wraps itself around your taste buds and refuses to let go. On a second visit (and it is easy to revisit) that 1st fill bourbon cask really starts to show itself with the multilayered vanilla and warming spice coming to the fore. This will have people talking for a while I feel.
Finish: Spicy as all hell, sweet pink peppercorns and molasses, sweet, bitter and with a wonderfully enlivening effect. The integration of all the scent and flavours mentioned above combine to draw out a very hearty finish to this Auchroisk.
