Auchentoshan Valinch Cask 6

$62.99

Founded by Irish refugees on the outskirts of Glasgow in 1823, the Auchentoshan distillery has now been enveloped by the town as it has grown. The distillery's water comes from the Highlands some 40 kilometres away. In front of the distillery, a cooling pond was created by a Nazi bomb during the Second World War.

Distiller's Tasting Note: "Nose: Sweet caramel and toffee with notes of nutty sherry, milk chocolate and honey. Ripe plums, red berries and oranges. Caramelised sugar and earthy, charred oak. Palate: Sweet, rounded and creamy. Oranges, plums, cherry and walnuts, chocolate, honey-mead, sherry and soft, spiced oak. Finish: Medium with warming mulled-wine spices, sherry and caramel."

Duncan Taylor Blair Athol 1989

$131.84

My Tasting Note: Nose: sawdust from a High School woodshop and honeycomb emerge first from the subtle nose; as it warms it becomes very cereal reminding me of Kellogg's Vector and perhaps Quaker Harvest Crunch; dried apples show later; Palate: dry and oaky the palate shows some dried fruits, especially apple, and some soft sweet spice for good measure; greener than I'd expect for a whisky of this age it is youthful with a touch of barley, but pleasantly so; Finish: clean, soft and smooth with more toasted oak and dried apple.
