Tasted after: Auchentoshan Three Wood
Appearance (no score):
• Light mahogany color
• Unable to look for legs due to water-repellent coating on the glass I was tasting with
Nose: 16/20
• Very mild, almost delicate, apples and vanilla are the only two I can detect faint smells of, it’s almost somehow sweet, bright, and musty all at once
Palate: 42/50
• Once again everything is very subtle, vanilla clearly dominates, but there’s also cinnamon, milk chocolate, and almonds
Finish: 23/30
• Medium finish, absolutely no ethanol burn, black pepper and charred wood, trails off to oak tannins and leaves behind a bitter ending taste
Total: 81/100
• Scoring rubric 80-84: Quite good, very enjoyable to drink, but doesn’t wow me, still it may make regular appearances in my collection. 4.25 stars.
Final thoughts:
• A drop or two of water didn’t make any noticeable changes
• Another easy sipper, it’s nothing remarkable but would probably recommend to someone just starting to get into scotch
• My bottle featured in the photo is missing the top half of the front label, just wasn’t there when I took it out of the box at home, so that’s a lesson to always check the bottle in every box before leaving the store
Price: $115
Would recommend: maybe
