Tasting Notes
Prepare to be enveloped in a world of enchanting aromas and flavors with this Auchentoshan 22 Year Old 1999 single malt. Matured for an impressive 22 years, this whisky underwent a remarkable journey, initially aged in refill bourbon barrels before being transferred to a fresh sherry butt for the final 20 months. The result is a captivating fusion of vegetal malt, dried sherried fruits, and fresh vanilla pod on the nose, with floral citrus hints adding a delightful touch. On the palate, rich cherries lead the way, accompanied by warming cinnamon spice and herbal barley notes. As it unfolds, sweet sultanas and clove-studded oranges emerge, creating a delightful interplay of flavors. The finish is a harmonious blend of drying oak, a touch of maple sweetness, and caramelized nuts, perfectly balanced by prickles of pepper. With only 696 bottles independently released by Signatory for its Cask Strength Collection, this exceptional whisky is a true gem for connoisseurs seeking a rare and unforgettable experience.
