Distribution of ratings for this:
- Brand: Auchentoshan
- Type: Scotch
- Region: Lowland
- ABV: 57.2%
Color: warm yellow
Nose: Crème brûlée and some brown sugar. Despite the high ABV it has a very soft nose. Water reveals something flowery and orange zest.
Taste: Again sweetness of vanilla pudding with orange zest topping. Near the end you'll find some caramelised almonds.
Finish: Nutty and creamy
Conclusion: A dram for people with a sweet tooth or those who are on a budget. A decent introduction to Auchentoshan and a very affordable cask strength.
My original tasting notes (in Dutch) can be found on my tumblr blog A Tasty Dram: tastydram.tumblr.com/post/46778816115/…
