Auld Reekie 12 Year Old 70cl / 46% ABV / Independent Bottling Category: Duncan Taylor Compare Prices: Auld Reekie
Description:
Auld Reekie 12 yo Islay malt Scotch whisky. Edinburgh has long been associated with smoke, whisky and royalty. It is reported that in 1777 there were no fewer than 400 illicit distilleries in Edinburgh. These easily went undetected in the thick smoke that filled Edinburgh. The smoke was such an issue in Edinburgh that the capital affectionately became known as “Auld Reekie”. In more modern times Edinburgh has lost its reputation as being the smoky capital of Scotland with the island of Islay now more synonymous in whisky circles with smoke than Edinburgh. Duncan Taylors Auld Reekie is a 12 year old bottling of Islay Malt whisky. Each cask is specially selected for the pungent smoky character unique to Islay whisky. Auld Reekie is bottled at 46%, natural colour, without the aid of chill-filtration. Drink this straight then sit back and wait for the smoke to engulf you.
Tasting Notes: The colour is Pale gold. The nose gives a initial big smoke, then softer sweeter notes emerge with some light citric notes. The palate is exceptionally smooth, coastal and sweet with obvious peat smoke most dominant. A long lasting lingering finish with the smoke continuing to develop long after the whisky is finished.
