Tasting Notes
The nose greets you with vibrant raspberry notes dusted lightly in confectioners' sugar, followed by inviting aromas cherry and marzipan (freshly baked cherry bakewell tarts). Strawberry accents mingle with a gentle hint of Japanese plum wine, deepening the fruity sweetness lent by the Pomerol cask. On the palate, the whisky offers a rich, oily texture with a satisfying viscosity. Juicy red fruit sweetness meets a firm yet refined tannic presence, adding balance and structure. Notes of ripe cherry and soft marzipan continue through, accented by gentle oak and a pleasantly subtle dryness on the finish.
Distillery Information
Founded in 1823 on the outskirts of Glasgow, Auchentoshan is one of the only Scottish distilleries practising triple distillation. This patient method crafts a bright yet complex spirit character, balancing top notes of citrus with a distinctively cereal-led base.
