My tasting notes

• Appearance Bright white wine gold (6/20), slow, medium tears and straight legs.
• Nose Vanilla, honey & apples, biscuity, shortbread, malty, touch grassy hay, floral honeysuckle, quite reserved.
• Taste Medium-full bodied, creamy almost milky, vanilla, milkshake, white chocolate, cereals, porridge, honey |& oat flapjack, later green apples, white pear and white grapes, really thick and chewy on the palate.
• Finish Long, oak wood, honey sweet and some white pepper and white chocolate.
• Overall An accomplished Auchroisk from a refill bourbon cask. Vanilla and cereals lead with touch of fruit and plenty of white chocolate, delicious!

Score 84/100
