Auchentoshan Select

The Auchentoshan Select is, since the rebranding in 2008, hard to find at retailers, since it was moved to the duty free market. I purchased my bottle (1 Liter) directly from the distillery's online shop.

This Lowland has no age statement.

The nose is very fresh with green apples, oranges and even a little banana. It has a pinch of vanilla too. A little caramel or toffee in the background. Adding a few drops of water brings out some passion fruit. I like it!

On the palate, the dram is - as to be expected - sweet and very fruity with apples and lime as the main players. The drams remains very light.

The finish is short, sweet and completely biteless.

Definitely better than the Classic, but not as complex as the Three Wood or 12 Year Old.
