Annandale
2017 Man O'Sword Cask 374
Scotland

"Sweet honey with a flinty aroma on the nose, plus raisin and sultana with some golden syrup. Plenty of underlying ashy peat smoke, and a flinty and mineralic edge."

Select Year

"Clean peat smoke dominates the nose, along with singed pine needles and lime. A sweet palate sees chocolate, gentle smoke, and butterscotch lifted by a grassiness. The whisky finishes elegantly, with smoked meats and salinity."

"The whisky presents a complex nose with Werthers Originals, Angel Delight, and hints of orchard fruit, complemented by a cheesecake base. The palate reveals sweet, well-balanced notes with a resinous mouthfeel, slight oxidation, and great ABV integration. It features honey with a barley twist, while the finish is long and rewarding, showcasing strawberry compote and a hint of spice."

1998 Auchentoshan MoS24011Scotland

"With a intense nose and palate this whisky has a delicious range of flavors. The aromas start with, caramel, green tea, walnuts, and green apples. These follow on the palate alongside curry spice, bread crust, and candied tropical fruits, alongside chamomile. The finish reveals herbaceous notes with papaya, dried mango, and white pepper, exceptionally balanced and lingering aftertaste of caramel fudge."
