Tasting of Auchentoshan 12 years old 1998 Fino Sherry Cask

By Miguel in Tasting , Auchentoshan

“Sweet Auchentoshan whisky with the slightest notes of nuts. Nice one!”

90
Auchentoshan 12 year 1998 Fino Sherry Cask
A 12 year old from Auchentoshan, this was aged in European oak Fino sherry barrels before bottling 2010.

The results are creamy and very fruity, and at cask strength there's a lot going on.

A great malty character with the sweetest touch of nuts.

If you like this whisky you should give a try to AnCnoc 16 years old

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (90): more than average. honey, barley, citrus, vanilla, floral.

Palate (89): smooth, powerful, oily. honey, spices, nuts, floral, citrus, vanilla, barley.

Finish (90): longer than average. honey, vanilla, citrus.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Auchentoshan 12 year 1998 Fino Sherry Cask with 90 points over 100.
