Placed in brand new oak casks right from the start, Auchentoshan threw the dice and won with their new Virgin Oak release. Instead of maturing in a cask that previous held sherry or bourbon, like most whiskies are, they did something different and have luckily created something stunning.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Pockets of spicy nutmeg float upon a calming vanilla.

Palate: A fruitiness follows on the vanilla sea alongside the nutmeg. Orange buoys bob up and down, sharp and fresh.

Finish: A flock of seagulls made of brown sugar flutter by, completing the picturesque scene perfectly. Bliss.
