I believe Auchentoshan really tried to do something good here but couldn't accomplish its mission, due to the search of complexity to only find a lot of aromas that don't marry well together.
Pale gold color, 40%abv.
In the nose is complex, but not all of the notes are likeable (At least for me). Malty,
Grassy, Fresh aroma.
Barley, Yeast; Reminds me a lot of irish whiskies.
Lemon peel after couple of minutes.
Corn, Chocolate. It felt like a grain whisky in some parts.
On the palate it is a lot let complex, sweet and easy drinkable. Nutty, Chocolate (reese's), Corn, Spicy Pepper.
Aftertaste is mostly sweet, like reese's chocolate, very short.
Overall, it lacks consistency in some parts, is not a balanced dram. 70 over 100.
