New 18yr and 21yr Auchentoshan

New from limited releases from Auchentoshan - 18yr and 21yr



Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch 18 Year Old...$104.99 
Triple distilled and matured in American bourbon oak for over eighteen years. The result: a refreshing Lowland single malt whisky with the added infusion of ripe citrus and green tea, the warmth of toasted almonds and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste.
Tasting Notes
To The Eye:
Deep golden summer barley.
To The Nose:
Fresh tobacco leaf - then sweet with a hint of caramelised sugars, green tea and toasted almonds.
To The Tongue:
A floral freshness with sweet barley sugar at first - this gently ebbs to reveal a tangerine zestiness. The palate is left alive and refreshed.
To The End:
A long, lingering and well balanced dram that invigorates the mouth.



Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch 21 Year Old....$149.99
Triple distilled and aged perfectly for over twenty one years in American bourbon and Spanish sherry casks. This creates a refined Lowland Single Malt Whisky, ripe with gooseberries, sweet creamy vanilla, a hint of oak, warm honey, and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste.

"Bright copper. Elegant and smooth. Soft green fruit with mint, oak and freshly cut barley. Sweet chocolate and mint with oak and honey. Long, soft and warm. My top choice as the quintessential Lowland Single Malt; it doesn't get better."
F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal

To The Tongue:

A long and lasting finish, demonstrating real depth of character.
