THE LAST DROP
40 YEAR OLD AUCHENTOSHAN SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY
1982
A VERY SPECIAL LOWLANDS Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a barrel which yielded only 72 bottles, it is with great pride that we present this 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Auchentoshan Distillery just outside Glasgow.
Perhaps it’s the triple distillation, which Auchentoshan has long been renowned for. Perhaps it’s something in their water, which is sourced from Loch Katrine, on the banks of which Sir Walter Scott sat and penned his classic The Lady of the Lake just a decade before the distillery was founded.
Release Size : 72 Bottles (worldwide)
Format: Individually numbered bottles (700ml + 50ml miniature) presented in our ravishing new packaging.
ABV : 44.8% (89.6º Proof)
RRP : £4,200.00 (inc VAT)
Perhaps, however, it’s a combination of these things, honed by two centuries of whisky artistry, allowed to age for four decades before we finally bottled it for you. One of our smallest releases, this is a very special bottle to be shared with the best of friends.
Fig 1 – Black Cherries
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE: A light, delicate straw gold, with glints of yellow diamonds.
NOSE: Light and delicate but with the richness of fruitcake and stewed apples, complemented with the ripe sweetness of raisins and black cherries. Notes of toffee and hazelnuts with hints of liquorice entice, with sweet spices and oak.
Fig 2 – CaramelPALATE: The richness of black cherries remains: cut grass, enhanced with the sweetness of raisins and caramel, intermingles with spices, vanilla and a hint of oak, developing into a sweet floral, liquorice and spicy oak aftertaste.
CONCLUSIONS: A soft, deep finish to linger over, this is a whisky full of surprise and delight.
