Auchentoshan Bordeaux Wine Finish Whisky 17 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with a warm, ruby-tinged glow and subtle mahogany edges.

Nose

Bright red fruits rise: blackcurrant, cherry and plum, accented by Bordeaux’s wine-knit depth. Vanilla, cocoa and toasted oak layer in, with a touch of clove and cinnamon for warmth. The aroma is vibrant and refined, a wine-kissed bouquet that hints at the richness to come.

Palate

Powerful, wine-kissed palate delivering dark red fruit—plum, blackberry and cassis—woven with cocoa, vanilla and a hint of clove. The Bordeaux finish adds suave tannins and a polished sweetness, while the cask-strength warmth carries through with peppery depth. Long, refined finish of oak, espresso and persistent fruit.

Finish

From ex-Bordeaux red wine casks, the whisky carries a wine-softening sweetness that lingers long on the palate. Rich notes of red cherry, blackcurrant, and fig mingle with subtle spice and tannin, like a velvet cloak around the oak. The tail remains warm and refined, with cocoa-dark finish and lingering fruit.
