Auchentoshan – Halcyon Release #2 Single Cask #1896 1991 32 year old Whisky

This 32 year old Auchentoshan is non-chill filtered and natural colour. Bottled at natural cask strength, yielding only 140 bottles.

Nose: Initially a wave of sweetness with delicate and light meadow florals. The gentleness of the bouquet is underscored and further enhanced with ripe stoned fruit of peaches and apricots, comforted with a misting of honey.

Palate: The sweetness is intense but tempered by perfectly balanced by ginger and nutmeg. Malt loaf and deep sherried Christmas cake takes everything deeper.

Finish: Toasted oak signals the finish is beginning and the tail off is long, fruity with the return of the peaches and apricots, before lingering on a slight drying herbal note.
