Producer Tasting Note
"Aroma Fresh and vibrant: banana, pineapple, coconut, pear, and green apple combine and transform into delicate floral layers. With time, a creamy butterscotch undertone develops. Taste A gentle mouth-warming pepper heat gently succumbs to deliciously juicy tropical fruits: watermelon, pineapple, and banana with highlights of lively orange zest twists. Finish Drying cocoa powder and lingering toasted oak balance the fruity sweetness."

BURNT TOAST IN A BOOKSHOP
This 11 year old Highlander was matured in a refill hogshead and comes in at 59.2%
Flavour profile: Juicy, oak & vanilla (with a touch of peat)
Outturn: 287 bottles
Panel's tasting note: "The nose conveyed the welcoming appeal of walking into an old bookshop, abundant in curiosity and linseed oil ingrained deep into well-used wooden shelves. Soft leather-bound books mingled with a light peppery tingle before turning over to floral features and clementine commentaries with the soothing scent of citrus oil. The palate was an extended volume that expanded into burnt butter, smoked cream and the singed skin of an orange. Toasted crumpets and granola breakfast cereal combined with sticky toffee to create a chewy and pleasing mouth feel. Water turned a page to release sweeter icing sugar and jelly sweets with a soft finish that brought our attention back to the bookshelves."

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: floral and fruity, marzipan, olives and Marcona almonds; doughy, raisins and white fruits.
Palate: still floral, smooth, buttery and gently-toasted; more olives, marzipan and Marcona almonds; more raisins and dough-y notes; a touch meaty, thick caramel and soft, smooth leather; evolves towards darker fruits, spices and chocolate.
Finish: layered, nutty and saovoury; spicy and fruity with chocolate.
Comment: this is not the fruitiest Auchentoshan I’ve had, though there is a touch of crisp citrus; but the round doughy tones, olives and almonds drive a dangerously drinkable the palate; there might even be a touch of peat…
A.D. Rattray Glenrothes 1996
$199.99

Signatory Glen Keith 1991 48.2%
$284.99
Matured in a pair of Bourbon barrels for 25 years before bottling at 48.2%. The Glen Keith Distillery closed around the turn of the millennium, only to reopen a few years ago. Why is this relevant you ask? Because there is very little stock of the whisky around, and much of it that there is goes almost exclusively in to blends!
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: creamy, floral and tropical; parchment paper with oatmeal raisin cookie dough; apples and pears.
Palate: very creamy, lush, floral and slightly vegetal; rich, coating and creamy oak; velvety... it just keeps going; white fruits, smothered under a blanket of creamy floral vanilla.
Finish: coating, creamy and toasty; more white fruits, honey and flowers in potting soil.
Comment: if you are a little on edge, or just having a rough day, this well settle you down and put things right!
