Auchentoshan Lowland Whisky, 70 cl

A no-age-statement Auchentoshan released in 2008, Classic is aimed at drawing in new drinkers to malt whisky, and has the easy-going drinkability to do the job. The whisky has a Pale Gold hue with a lovely nose of rich vanilla and coconut with a hint of green apple and citrus zest. This is all followed with a palate of sweet vanilla cream, fresh green apple skin and a little mint. Its fresh floral zestiness is a wonderful finish. Thoroughly recommended to anyone 'testing the water' with whisky.
