Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

much more wood and caramel influence. Quite some vanilla crème as well as hints of orange juice and violet perfume. Otherwise it’s quite bland and I must say I like the Select’s ‘full nudity’ better

restaurant Palate

things are improving now, there’s certainly more body than in the select. Alas, the caramelly notes are too strong and I feel the spirit doesn’t really stand that. Lots of cereals and nuts as well, something toasted (cake)…

timer Finish

quite short but longer than the Select’s, still very caramelly but also a little tannic. Maybe a little substandard, if I may say so. 70 points . Auchentoshan 12 yo ‘QE2’ (43%, OB for Cunard, 100cl, circa 2006?) This comes from left over stocks from Cunard’s liner Queen Elizabeth II
