Auchentoshan 10 Year Old 2000 Douglas of Drumlanrig

I recently tried this at the Douglas of Drumlanrig tasting in Belgium and enjoyed it very much. Was it the line-up or is this indeed a good Auchentoshan?

The delicate Lowlander character is immediately recognizable on the nose. A malty heart, barley sugar, lime, touch of banana and a bit of bubblegum – the good kind (yes, it exists). A slight alcohol burn, with some pepper.

It is the pepper that pushes through on the palate. It is slightly oily and nicely sweet on white fruit.

In the medium to long finish, it is primarily the sweet fruit that remains.

This is a pretty tasty aperitif, that does not lose any strength, neither on the nose nor the palate, after fifteen minutes in the glass. This one sticks around.
