Auchentoshan 12 Years

Replac­ing the now extinct 10 year old is this sump­tiously pack­aged 12 year old ver­sion of the triple-distilled Low­land. Hap­pily they’ve improved on the 10, being richer, spicier and with more sherry influence.

The 12 year old is smooth, fresh and nutty with a golden honey appearance. It has a Crème Brulee smell with a burst of citrus and the signature nuttiness and green leafiness of Auchentoshan. To taste the palate is smooth and sweet with hints of tangerine and lime. To finish, it is a gingery and slightly drying with a pleasant lingering nuttiness.
