"This is creamy, almost citrus whisky-as you would imagine, it's very like Auchentoshan Classic, just cleaner. There is not much cask influence on show, so the flavours come from the distillate. The crisp, almost tart finish is wonderful."
A 2011 limited edition cask strength from Auchentoshan who are famous for triple distilling all their malts.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with a delicate straw hue.
Nose
Creamy citrus on the nose, bright and clean. Lemon zest and pale grapefruit float over a silken, dairy-soft base, with just a whisper of vanilla from the distillate. Very little cask influence, yielding a pristine, refreshing aroma that recalls Auchentoshan’s signature lightness.
Palate
Silky, creamy with a bright citrus lift, this palate is distillate-forward and remarkably clean, with minimal cask influence. Subtle lemon and white-fruit notes drift over a smooth body, finishing with a crisp, almost tart snap that lingers.
Finish
Crisp, almost tart, with a creamy citrus glow that lingers. A distillate-driven finish at cask-strength, refreshingly clean and bright.
