Sweet butterscotch with a crème brulee char on the pallet. Hints of freshly sliced pear, dried figs, dates and raisin with sweet almond, honey and creamy shortbread notes.
An immediate punch of peat is quickly balanced by a burst of vanilla oakiness. the flavour meanders between smoke, fruit, creamy toffee and back again. with every sip the complexity of the whisky deepens as layer upon layer of flavour is revealed.
Super pale, like fino sherry, but don’t be mistaken to thinking that it's gentle….a hefty dollop of iodine and peat smoke, with ginger and some green apple notes. Certainly my favourite from this Islay Clan
Colour
Bright Auric
Aroma
Very fresh, herbal, with hints of vanilla, pear, freshly
cracked black pepper, honey-glazed ham. Rich Turkish
coffee, sappy pine resin.
With water, more herbal notes like vetiver and fennel,
along with aniseed, green apple and leather.
Taste
A rich, explosive mouthfeel with lots of chocolate, tar,
creosote and smoked bacon, followed by a burst of
antiseptic lozenges, eucalyptus and more aniseed.
Finish
A long, salty and mouthcoating finish with hints of
cocoa, fudge and savoury meats.
Long, warming and memorable. Hints of soft spices and roasted hazelnuts compliment beautifully the hallmark Arran citrus flavour. A perfect demonstration of the complexity afforded by a well-aged Arran expression.
Triple distilled then matured for over twelve years. Displaying the tempting aroma of toasted almonds, caramelised toffee and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste.
Triple distilled and matured in American bourbon oak for over eighteen years. A refreshing Lowland single malt whisky with the added infusion of ripe citrus and green tea and the warmth of toasted almonds.
Replaces the Classic. Aromas of vanilla and coconut come through quite early on as a result of being matured entirely in ex-bourbon casks. Citrus fruit and peach make an appearance towards the end.
From American Bourbon to Spanish Oloroso Sherry - and finally Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks - this is a rich, complex whisky with toffee and sherry flavours.
The DoubleWood 17 year old is an elder sibling to DoubleWood 12 year old and shares its honeyed, spicy characteristics, but it is distinctly different, with deeper vanilla notes, hints of green apple, creamy toffee and a striking richness and complexity.
