Your preffered Auchentoshan

[MoreDalmore]

I wonder which one of the Auchentoshan malts I had the past year you prefer ( all new bottles ) ....

And as you will do so anyway you can of course suggest your favourite Auchentoshan if you want to...

I prefer the Three Wood ( new bottle ) which at the moment is still in my top 10....

21 yr., second 18 yr.
I still find 21yr. bottles.

I have tried the new range a couple of times as a set including the new 'classic'.

I have to say from the list, I really did like the 18yo... A step up and a different Character than the 10,12,3w bottles... I don't really know the price point of the 18, so I cannot comment as to the price/value... I have only really seen the 21 and 3wood 'new' bottles in the US.

Not on the list the 21 and classic. I like the 21 over the 18. Auchentoshan seems to really take on character as it gets really old... (i.e. 1973, 34yo (yummy))

Cheers,

Auchentoshan seems to really take on character as it gets really old...

Truly! I still remember the quite astounding flavour spectrum of that OB 31-year old cask strength edition distilled in 1965.

Amongst the others, it's a close call for me between the 21-year old and the Three Wood, as the latter really does offer subtleties far beyond what one would normally expect from such a 'young' whisky. The 10-year old is, in contrast, a very pleasurable 'everyday' sort of pour. I haven't tried the 18-year old or the newer 12-year old, though I never was all that impressed with the 12-year old bottling from the Eadie Cairns (i.e. pre-Bowmore and Suntory ownership) era.

Given the choices listed above and those I've tried, I'll 'pump' for the Three Wood.

Hm. 21, 1973, 1965 and 1966 are all really good. I really liked the sherry 17 too. There is also the Select that is good value at between $20 and $30. I've missed the 12. So my vote goes to the 18.

21 yr., second 18 yr.

I like the 21 over the 18.

Yes if the 21 had been on the list I would have gone for it, but the 18yo is the best of the list IMO.

Three Wood every timealthough the 12 year old is good.

[Jobi]

I've only had the three wood and the 21. The three wood was good but not great. The 21 was exceptional.

[vagusmaximus]

auchentoshan 3 wood (old bottling) It remebers my one of my favourites brandys (cardenal mendoza)

I will agree with that one the 21yr is a classic whisky.

18 all the way for me. Three Wood I find a tad too sulphury.
