Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
now I remember why I chose the old Auchentoshans. Styles are similar, with this combination of vanilla-ed sawdust and coconut oil. What’s funny is that I’m also finding ‘ideas of Ladyburn’ (what?), with this very bright ‘yellow’ fruitiness that would involve peaches and mirabelles. Chamomile. With water: pure vanilla fudge mixed with apple compote. And one croissant au beurre
restaurant Palate
acacia honey, mint-flavoured tea, argan oil (we’re definitely in southern Morocco), pear paste – or crystallised pears -, mirabelles, marzipan, hay wine (they make that in the Vosges mountains, sounds crazy but it ain’t too bad)… I find this neat. What may also save it is the fact that the oak wasn’t too active. Hurray for lazy casks! With water: works. Cereals, sweet lager, dry cider, a few drops of limoncello. In other words, back to the barley
timer Finish
some grassy oak coming through, but it remains brighter than the old Auchs. That would be Auchentoshans
