strong profile on the nose, sherry, well aged port, cherries, and a weird slightly off smell. not quite sure what it is, like a sulferous, burnt hair smell. in the mouth it's a rich, dark fruit affair! cherries, raspberries, strawberries, bitter almonds, and plum jam. with water, alot of bitterness comes through, very dry and oaky. the three casks definitely make a difference, but think its masking the actual spirit.
Flavour profile seemed off to me. Palate was bitter and medicinal.
I visited the distillery in October 2018. the three wood is their 10 year Oak agreed another 18 months in the first sheet casks a and another 6 months in the Pedros. "it's about 12 years old."
also, no peat at all in any of this distillery's offerings
Nose: BlackBerry, cedar
Mouth: butterscotch, nuts
Finish: Short. nothing to this one
Je ruikt en proeft het hout
Wierrooksmaak
Full flavour and a rich woody experience. This to me is the woodworking of my youth. Fresh cut hardwood smells fill the nose and the finish is just as amazing.
Delicious sweetness, slightly nutty with a bourbon flavour
A favourite. Smooth drinking after diner. Full and gives a long after taste.
Very woody - tastes almost like a bourbon. not what I personally look for in a scotch but a good dram

dégusté a glasgow
sehr fruchtiger und vielseitiger Whisky. Die gemeinsame Reife in unterschiedlichen Fässern wirkt sich positiv auf den Geschmack aus
Elegant, full. Allow it to rest and open in the glass for a while before drinking
Rich woody flavour. Another of my favourites.
Hint of tobacco on the nose with woodsy vanilla and orange creme.
Sherry comes in on the palate, rich fruitiness with cinnamon and citrus making a brief appearance.
Finish isn't as lasting as I would like; enough to keep a steady reminder that you need to go back for more.
Sherry comes through with a balsamic vinegar taste. incredible depth, thick taste that I cannot compare to anything. must try
Tobacco notes. Sherry comes through on the palette.
Complex and fruity whisky. Best one from Auchentoshan that I have tasted so far (12 years, American Oak, Blood Oak) and compared to the others the only one I have ordered a 2nd time.
dark fuits. dark chocolate. orange sweet on the forefront with medium oak. short finish.
früchte, schwarze johannisbeere, zimt, dunkle schokolade. sanft und trotzdem würzig, tolles plv
A great after-dinner dram; sweet Berry deserts all the way through, without compromising the oak spiced core.
Dark chocolate, red berries, complex whisky. Will try more from Auchentoshan and Lowland in general.
Dark fruits,plums,raspberry,blackcurrants,wood notes,orange,dark chocolate on the nose,more dry oak wood note and spice on the palate,cinnamon,walnut,dry raisins,bit of sherry,short dry and medium long woody aftertaste.Tasty and rich,spicy dram
Pretty sipping beverage. Medium caramel color, chocolate cherry nose, honied with no mineral elements.
Chocolate cherry, nutty, no overt raisin, no mineral element
Smooth, front of palate, moderate heat, ripe stone fruit (plum, fig). Not overtly Sherry forward, although Sherry cask is a key element.
Moderate to long nutty flavor
Very nice and promising nose and gentle taste that can't fully keep up to that.
Strawberries, cashew nuts, vanilla, stewed plums, blood oranges. Very deep and fruity. Yummie!
Figues, walnuts and caramel macchiato.
Fine oak and much more sweet caramel.
Schöne Holznote in der Nase. Vollmundig im Antrunk. Leicht süßlich. Im Abgang sehr trocken.
donkere chocolade
hazelnoot

vleugje citroen

Perfect for cocktails
Seehr lecker! sehr mild von Anfang bis Ende! Leichte Süße und Karamellnote.
Lots of sherry in the nose and on the palate, plums - sweet, oak finish. Easy drinking sherry whisky.
colour is adjusted
Rather simple and quite gentle. Lacks a full body.
Like Ardbeg Kelpie without the peat
smokey, hard not smoth palate, short fibish
rounded oak notes with sherry sweet that develops into a lasting plum and dark dried fruit into he finish
recommendable during X-mas time.
vanilla sweetness
dark red fruits like cherries. nutiness
hint of cinnamon
During the winter
mild peat with a very smooth finish
Im new to scotch. Was reading a few reviews on where I should start my adventure and I was directed toward Lowlands. No a bad scotch for starters. A little pricy, but good flavor.
Guter öliger Whisky mit vielen süßen Aromen und einer Note Sherry.
Eignet sich für die Freunde der milden Whiskys.
Très boisé avec la subtilité de chaque fût qui se fait ressentir. Très intéressant !
Not as good as other offerings from Auchentoshan that I've tried. Not bad, but could have been so much better.

Nothing exciting. Too flat and not worth the price
great wood taste
Struggled with this. Found it to be excessively citrus in taste. Did not agree with my palette. Found myself screwing up my fave when drinking. Never a good sign.
smooth
A solid mix of red fruit and spices ends with an iced tea-like dryness. An excellent intro into sherried whiskies.
Red grapes, plums, canned strawberries and notes that remind me of spicy pork flavored ramen noodles.
A red fruit basket with white peppers and chili peppers. Juicy plums, pecan nuts, blackberry, overripe strawberries and light liquor cherries.
Forest fruit flavored iced tea and dry oak.
