Auchentoshan Sherry Cask Matured Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones and a warm bronze glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry influence floods the nose with dried fig, plum and black cherry, brightened by orange zest and raisins. Rich toffee, cocoa and toasted almond unfold against vanilla and cinnamon-spiced oak, with a whisper of clove. A refined, polished sweetness underpins the bouquet, delivering generous, velvety depth.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate with a creamy mouthfeel. Rich sherry age yields dark fruits—fig, raisin and orange peel—lifted by toasted almond and treacle sweetness. Spices—cinnamon, clove, a whisper of nutmeg—ride a velvety oak backbone. A warming, peppery finish reveals cocoa, dried fruit and a lasting, luxurious coat of oil.

Finish

An extended, luxurious finish that lingers with dark fig and raisin, toffee and cocoa, bright orange zest, and warm spice. The sherry influence leaves a velvety sweetness that gradually fades into toasted oak and a subtle, peppery glow.
