Coming Soon - 2007 Lady of the Glen Auchentoshan Single Cask #4204 16 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

This should be interesting. A triple distilled spirit with a 17 month ruby port cask finish. At first subdued on the nose. Air contact opens up notes of soft white fruits and green grassiness. In the mouth, hints of Turkish Delight and rose chocolate. The port contribution feels meek, suggesting dried cranberries and blackberries on the palate, heightening at the finish. Drying oak and a grassy-peppery lift add vibrancy. Hardly the signatures of Auchentoshan one might expect, rather quite grappa-like, but certainly interesting and fresh. 244 bottles at 55.7% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
