Wemyss Malts Tarte au Citron (distilled at Auchentoshan) 1998, 46%
Price: $70 ● Issue: Spring 2014 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith
The latest single cask expression of Auchentoshan from Wemyss Malts is 14 years old and was matured in a bourbon barrel. The outturn is 342 bottles. The nose is fleetingly herbal; then offers crème de citron, turning to tinned peaches in syrup, and finally pine and peppery caramel. Silky-smooth in the mouth, spicy, with lemon and digestive biscuits. Freshly-squeezed lemon lingers in the chili and chocolaty finish. £78
