white wine
air Nose
this one starts more vegetal, on grass, marzipan and fresh walnuts. Gets then fruitier, with lots of redcurrant syrup, grenadine and blackcurrants but it’s still very simple and basic. A slightly disturbing soapiness in the background but the whole gets nicer after a good ten minutes, with lots of green and herbal teas as well as quite some thyme and rosemary. Not too bad, in fact
restaurant Palate
sweet and rather expressive, starting on a mix of vanilla crème, fresh almonds, nougat and caramel. Rather nice bitterness, getting also slightly resinous… Then it’s back to the fruits such as fresh pineapples, pears and bitter oranges. Medium long finish, slightly leafy and bitterish, alas. This Auchentoshan isn’t a winner but it’s certainly not unpleasant. 75 points . Auchentoshan 18 yo (55.8%, OB, 2006) Matured in oloroso sherry casks
