Whisky Forum - Auchentoshan American oak

Another offering from Auchentoshan, American oak is matured solely in first fill bourbon casks, bottled at 40% (shame it's not a little stronger) ..

Nose...lots of vanillas in here, zesty just like a typical toshan, coconut, maple syrup on toasted waffles... A little whiff of spice too,

Taste ... Sweet vanilla, a lovely zesty flavour ( oranges, lemon ) toffee apples, worthers original sweets, coconut..

Finish...it has a medium finish, spicy, a little oak but ends nice n sweet...

Another good offering from the Auchentoshan distillery, given the first fill bourbon casks it's not overly sweet, but really would benefit from a few more % in strength...

Cheers for the note sorren. Same story with many whiskies, they could benefit from a few more % ABV, sounds worth a try though, i will pick up a bottle this weekend while Tesco have it on offer for Â£25.
