Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Nose is light, fruity, and nutty, with vanilla and caramel. Palate is delicious. Moderate spice rush with medium sweetness and grassyness; plus there's a refreshing aspect. Pleasant heat. Lately I've tried a few of these older cask-strength Auchentoshans that are darn tasty, and this is one of them. This isn't especially complex, yet it's not simple either. I like it a lot. A-/B+

Andy

Nose: Bag of trail mix.

Palate: Good mouthfeel and kind of warming. Initial taste is prunish and leads into a peppery but otherwise indisctict finish.

I don't like prunes, so that doesn't help.

Retaste 6/11/10

Nose: Overripe peaches. This is a wierdo. Nail polish? Uniquely strange but not "good" strange. B- only for entertainment factor.

Chris

B: Fruity, very slight ripeness (butyric).
P: Dry and light, a white wine profile, I guess you could say it's what you's expect from a lowland.
F: Gets even dryer, fades quick.
Yeah, not a big fan of this, its like fiery church wine.

Fuji

n: vanilla, spice, oak , wet hay
P: smooth, grassy, olive oil, rubber, candied lemon
F: spice and rubber, leather
