Tasting of Auchentoshan 16 years old Cadenhead's Duthies
in Tasting , Auchentoshan“Floral and malt whisky. Quite interesting this Cadenhead Auchentoshan.”
89
A 16 year old Auchentoshan bottled by WM Cadenhead for the new range, Duthies. Duthies consists of six whiskies from a range of distilleries, none of which are chill-filtered, nor do they have added caramel coloring.
This Auchentoshan single malt scotch whisky features a very interesting malt and floral profile.
This dram has a fino-like color.
Nose (89): more than average. honey, malt, floral, citrus, vanilla. Quite good.
Palate (88): smooth, oily. honey, floral, malt, citrus, vanilla, pepper. It lacks of power. Maybe 48% would have been better.
Finish (89): average. honey, floral, citrus.
So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Auchentoshan 16 year Duthies with 89 points over 100.
