This was a lovely dram that one friend shared me a glass of it, you can only get it in the Auchentoshan distillery. They even bottle it in your presence.
This is a 54.2%abv cask strength, bordeaux cask, distilled on 25.09.2008 and bottled on 14.02.2018; beautiful chesnut color.
On the nose is quite appealing. I am not a fond fan of Auchentoshan, i find it to be a little too "irish" in its style, but this is definitively my favorite one. Coffee, Chocolate, Lemon, Merthiolate, Super powerful aroma, Lavender, Oranges, Milk chocolate, Floral. Everything is going on here.
On the palate is also very nice, like Lemonade with spices. Pepper bomb, Malt, Chocolate, milk powder.
A very short clove finish, cost it some points on my chart. Nicely balanced.
Overall this is a nice dram, i dont think its very accesible, but it is my first bordeaux cask, so if you ever get an auchentoshan matured in a bordeaux cask, it should be like this one. 87 /100. Nice.
