Auchentoshan Signatory Vintage Symington’s Choice Single Cask #4 Whisky 24 Year Old · 1999 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany hues and a coppery, ruby-touched glow.

Nose

Sherry-soaked perfume with dark fruits—prune, fig, and dried cherry—plus orange zest. Rich cocoa, toffee, and toasted almond mingle with warming spice (cinnamon, clove). Leather and polished oak add depth, while a whisper of molasses and a trace of vanilla round the edges. A bold, alluring nose that hints at the cask-strength richness to come.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate opens with rich sherry sweetness—figs, dates and dried cherries—balanced by cocoa, orange zest and toasted almond. At cask strength, warmth blooms with cinnamon, clove and a dash of espresso, while the oak lends poised structure. The finish is long and nutty, with caramelized notes and lingering spice.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish driven by sherry influence: dark fig, raisin and date mingle with cocoa, orange zest and toasted almond, all wrapped in warm spice and oak. A bold, lingering warmth persists at cask strength, leaving a lasting, dessert-like impression.
