Auchentoshan 14 Year Old Cooper’s Reserve is named so as it is mature and well rounded; it has a complex relationship with the wood and is perfect for a special occasion. At 14 years old, this whisky has developed an ideal and unique balance of soft dried fruit and intense nuttiness.

The Auchentoshan 14 Year Old Cooper's Reserve is a marriage of Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, non chill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV. This new travel retail bottle will be exclusively available in World Duty Free stores from 7th March and general release from April 2012, RRP £49.99

Tasting Notes

Producer's Tasting Notes:

Nose: A cornucopia of fruit, nuts and barley, reminiscent of an autumn harvest table. Roasted barley and chocolate pralines bring the first layers of aroma. Treacle toffee and chocolate brazil nuts follow with butterscotch and crème brulee. Water releases fruit and nut muesli with freshly squeezed orange. Chocolate follows with hazelnuts, almonds, dried apricots and figs. Oiled leather emerges with traces of walnut oil.

Taste: Well-rounded and mature with a creamy texture. Dried figs and apricots are sumptuous and sweet, interwoven with a cornucopia of hazelnuts and almonds. Chocolate pralines are smooth and creamy.

Finish: Chocolate pralines, apricots and walnut oil.
