Auchentoshan 10 Year

I had forgotten completely about the Auchentoshan 10 until Jason reminded me. What a great whiskey, especially for such a young one. It is agressive, but still full of fruity notes and a low finish. Great stuff, and a good deal too. 

Nose
Scenty. Definite linseed. Lemon grass. Vanilla.
Palate
Light, soft, oily, mashmallow-like. Good flavour development. From lemony to cedary.
Finish
Rounded. Soothing, long.
Comment
At 10 years, Auchentoshan makes an expressive, eloquent claim to being the classic Lowlander.
