| Review #268 |
Another single
cask from Cadenheads. This one comes from a Bourbon hogshead and only 234
bottles were made. Regardless the high ABV it is almost so light that you don’t
sense anything in the smell… Give it a couple of minutes in the glass and it starts to open
up for some floral notes and vanilla sweetness.
You might
not notice the high ABV in the smell, but it kicks you in the face when you
take the first sip! The taste is compact and full of grass, hay and a hint of
the oak influence. Some sweetness appear in the finish. Especially vanilla, but
the rough notes are still present.
It might be
a bit simple, but it is a more rough version than I normally associate with
Auchentoshan. I like that! I found that it could take quite some water, and
after a good portion of water some strong licorice notes appear in the taste. I
will give this 85/100 (20/22/22/21).
