Auchentoshan Valinch, 57.5%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2011 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Auchentoshan Valinch is essentially a cask strength version of the popular Classic expression. It is named after the metal tube used to extract samples of spirit from the cask. A nose of tinned peaches in syrup, Madeira, cinnamon, newly-planed wood, coconut, and vanilla notes. Sweet and spicy on the creamy palate, with vanilla, honey, and praline. Oak and spice in the peach liqueur-like finish.
