Released in 2009, a triple distilled single malt whisky from the Auchentoshan distillery in the Lowlands. Matured for 18 years in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks. Bottled at 43%. (Bottle size 70cl)

Nose: Fresh tobacco leaf, then some sweetness, layered with a hint of caramelised sugar, green tea and almonds.

Palate: A smooth whisky taste with a floral freshness and a burst of sweet barley at first. This gently ebbs, revealing a tangy zestiness of Auchentoshan whisky. The palate is left alive and refreshed.

Finish: A long, lingering well balanced single malt.
