Auchentoshan Signatory Vintage The Monuments Of Scotland - St Andrews Cathedral Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 2013 Vintage
In stock
Located on the east coast of Scotland, St Andrews Cathedral was once the largest church in the country. Consecrated in 1318 in the presence of King Robert the Bruce, it served as the heart of medieval Scottish Christianity. Today it stands in striking ruins, destroyed during the Protestant Reformation, yet remains one of Scotland's most visited historic sites.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with a warm honey glow and coppery glints.
Nose
Bright citrus zest and green apple rise, layered with vanilla and a touch of honey. Delicate almond and toffee deepen, while sherry offers figs, dates, and raisin, with cocoa nib and warm spice—cinnamon and clove. A pale oak frame and a whisper of sea air finish the aroma with quiet, refined allure.
Palate
Silky and bright, it opens with citrus zest, green apple and vanilla, then deepens into sherry nuance. Orchard fruit ripens into toasted almond, dried raisin and cocoa, with a ribbon of oak. Gentle spice—white pepper and ginger—threads through the mid-palate, culminating in a warm, long finish that is refined, sweet, and quietly majestic.
Finish
Long, velvety finish of dried dark fruit and cocoa, tempered by toasted oak and subtle spice. Sherry depth lingers with almond sweetness and a hint of orange zest, slowly fading into a warm, resinous finale that echoes the cathedral’s enduring stone.
