Auchentoshan 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Tasting Notes
To The Eye
Expect a deep golden summer barley colour to each glass of this Single Malt. What gives whisky its colour? Our careful and methodical maturing process over the course of 18 years. As the Single Malt comes into contact with the barrel, a new colour and flavour profile is created over time.
To The Nose
Fresh tobacco leaf, then some sweetness, layered with a hint of caramelised sugar, green tea and almonds.
To The Tongue
A smooth whisky taste with a floral freshness and a burst of sweet barley at first. This gently ebbs, revealing a tangy zestness of Auchentoshan whisky. The palate is left alive and refreshed.
To The End
A long, lingering well balanced Single Malt. A dram that invigorates the senses.

NOSE
Where to start? So immediately true to variety. Punchy, not shy.
Beneath: Subtle forest floor earthiness, laced with liquorice, fennel and anise with a sceric of non-aggressive fresh spearmint.
Above: Sugar pastille wafts – somewhat reminiscent of the fruit bon bons of youth more prescriptively/realistically – blackcurrant jelly bean.
In between: Summer pudding fruit generosity – suggestive of a cherry clafoutis? Or maybe a fleshy red cherry trifle, avec sponge cake? Yes please.

PALATE Bountiful red cabernet fruits complexed by cut tobacco (pouch) and darkened spices.Seamless, with a tightness/tension between acidity and tannins.These tannins are ripe and friendly – currently perceived as fruit, not oak tannins.Oak – quite possibly partially contributing to the sweetness apparent on palate?Flavour and length. Lingers.

33 is made with Dewasansan rice grown by our very own rice research institute that has been polished in house to 33% to extract all its potential. With a gentle yet rich aroma of ripened fruits, the essence of every single flavour umami, dry, sweet and sour, spreads out leaving behind a lovely aftertaste.

Apple juice and Jack Daniel’s is a stellar combo (known as an Apple Jack), though the folks behind the whiskey have gone a step further and created this fruity whisky liqueur – Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Apple! Think vanilla-forward Tennessee whiskey and green apple, all bottled up at an approachable 35% ABV.
