Featured in The 1001 Whiskies you must try before you die book
"This whisky is a curious and very pleasant mix of light, almost floral cereal, cut with toasted pine nuts and fine tobacco. The distillery's signature twist of lemon is now a darker marmalade and there is a very addictive peppery rumble at the end"
If you are an Auchentoshan fan then this 18 year old expression is worthy of the extra cost as you get so much more complexity and depth. In fact it's a bit of a revelation!

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with a delicate straw hue, touched by a soft honey tint and a faint amber edge that catches the light.
Nose
Elegant, creamy nose of vanilla and ripe citrus, with flaked almond and green tea. Subtle floral cereal notes mingle with toasted pine nuts and a whisper of tobacco, while lemon marmalade sweetness brightens the frame. A peppery, lightly spiced edge lingers, hinting at the 18 years spent in American oak.
Palate
Silky and refined, this 18-year-old glides through with creamy vanilla and ripe citrus, a kernel of almond and green tea lending freshness. Subtle spice threads in, while toasted pine nut and delicate cereal notes add texture. A lemon marmalade glow brightens the mid-palate, finishing with a peppery, persistent warmth and a refined, lingering complexity.
Finish
Elegant and long, the finish blooms with dark lemon marmalade and vanilla, then settles into a peppery rumble. Subtle almond and green tea linger, finishing with a refined whisper of tobacco for a polished, lingering end.
