Auchentoshan 1998

Country: Scotland

Region: Lowlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 54.6%

Score: 92 Points

This malt was matured in Fino Sherry casks, and the nose has notes of honey, butterscotch, orange peel, almonds, and a touch of dried flowers. The taste starts sweet with a citrusy-tart note that builds with hints of lemon, mango, pineapple, and green apples. The green apple tartness continues through the slightly dry finish.
