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.
