Auchentoshan 21 Year

A slightly sweet taste of... melon?...is followed by an earthy, slightly smoky/peaty finish. I really wish there was something more to it, but was disappointed. There are better places to spend my "21 year-old Scotch" money than this.

Nose is all fruity, mostly musty berries and floral. Sherry cask influence is heavy. Palate is also fruity, honey, acidic and I found it to be harsh for a 21 year old. I expected more of a rounded palate. It could be because this is my first dram after like 6 days, but the extra bite that I didn’t expect from the age and the relatively low ABV just threw me off. I tried it with a bit of water and on the rocks too. Still it didn’t really open up for me. Got that super sweet, hit you in the face candy flavors with a lot of bite, and sadly I wasn’t a big fan. Honestly I prefer the 12 and triple wood.

Very good. For the price, its meh.... but having a bottle now, I quite like it.

Smooth and super tasty
