Ardbeg Rennaissance

Ardbeg Very Young
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.30% 4 great interplay of sweet and dry flavours. More phenolic at start, smoke is more integrated than in Bowmore or Caol Ila.

Auchentoshan 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Very expressive when young – as might be expected from a classic Lowlander.

Auchentoshan 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 At 10 years, Auchentoshan makes an expressive, eloquent claim to being the classic Lowlander.

Auchentoshan 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Lots of American Oak, and a super clean character. Nowt wrong, but not quite enough right.

Auchentoshan 11 Years Old 1999 Bordeaux Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.00% 8 An interesting and invigorating autumn dram which needs water to cut the edges.

Auchentoshan 12 Years old

Auchentoshan 17 Years Old, Bordeaux Wine

Auchentoshan 1966, 31 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.80% 8 A fine whisky, but does something as fresh and soft benefit from quite so much ageing?

Auchentoshan 1973, 29 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.80% 8 The chestnut colour betrays the time this whisky has spent in oak. I have tasted much woodier whiskies - but not oakier Auchentoshans.

Auchentoshan 1976 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 41.80% 7 Better on palate than the nose, but so fragile it shatters easily.

Auchentoshan 1978, 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.80% 8 This seems to me the definitive light tasting (triple-distilled) Lowlander. In theory, such whiskies mature young, but this has aged beautifully.

Single Malt - Scotland - 50.50% 8 Excellent.

Auchentoshan 1990 16 Years Old Bourbon Matured
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.70% 7 Draff mixed with whipped cream? It's a Glaswegian cranachan.

Auchentoshan 21 Years Old

Auchentoshan 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 A fruity rumble in the hay. Oo arr missus.

Auchentoshan 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Nose is very promising,not sure about the palate.
