Auchentoshan Valinch 2012
second small batch release.
 Launched
last year in response to popular demand
from Single Malt evangelists, the
Auchentoshan Valinch was released to
great reviews. A non chill-filtered
Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in
first-fill North American ex-Bourbon oak
casks, the Valinch is a cask strength
edition of the acclaimed Classic.
For 2012, Auchentoshan is unveiling the
second small batch release of this
much-lauded malt. Only a limited amount
of Valinch are selected for release once
a year – 2000 cases globally.
Named after the metal pipette used to
draw whisky straight from the cask, this
light and refreshing whisky has all the
depth of taste, flavour and full body
associated with sampling whisky at
source.
The packaging of this expression tells
the story of the whisky, with the bottle
reflecting a laboratory bottle
complimented by the outer carton;
stripped back to basics, exposing the
idea of whisky straight from the cask.

Tasting Notes
|
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet vanilla, a hint of
lemon in the background.
Taste: Lovely juicy barley
sweetness, vanilla coated in citrus
zest, a touch of pepper
Finish: A bit of spice, sweet,
slowly fading creamy vanilla.
Comments: A youthful whisky,
superior to its lower strength
Auchentoshan Classic sibling. This is a
bigger hitting Auchentoshan with more
depth of flavour and a must try for
those who enjoy the Classic.
SMW Score 88/100
