Auchentoshan The Bartender's Malt

Spice, vanilla and just a whiff of smoke on the nose. Some sweetness and Christmas cakey flavours with a pleasant finish. Altogether lovely stuff.

Malty flavor with a hint of smoke.

The nose is strong honey, but hints of apple and apricot. There is clearly some caramel notes, a I envision a candy apple the more I smell it. At full strength, it bites, but has buttery notes. A dash of water opens up the flavours, bringing out citrus notes and hints of rum/malt. The finish is nice, soft, and long. This was WAAAAY better then I had expected.
