Auchentoshan Triple Distilled 12 Year Old Single Malt. Lowlands, Scotland. ABV: 40.00% . Tasted at The Trustee, $12.
Colour: Plain old amber, no makeup. Not as dark as the Auchentoshan Three Wood (which obviously has spent considerable time in sherry casks).
Nose: Buttery toffee scents.
Palate: Smooth & oily.
Finish: Quite a thin, short finish.
Comments: A triple distilled Auchentoshan? How very Irish of you. Quite ok, nothing too out of the box to remark on – just a solid, smooth, middle of the road single malt. I definitely prefer the Auchentoshan Three Wood, which has a bit more depth and character than this entry-level dram.
