One of the biggest surprise scotches of the night. So much flavor is packed into this Lowland single malt that I didn't believe it was an Auchentoshan. Those Pedro Ximenez sherry casks must contain some sort of magic in them because every bourbon and scotch I've had that has spent some time in them rank high on my fav lists. The amazing thing is that we had a small sample of Macallan Rare cask and drank it beside this and I was amazed at how similar they are in flavor. Layers of sweetness and a pretty smooth and lingering finish. You can tell the Macallan is more refined but at 3-4x the price that is easy to overlook.
