Luckily, I had kept the previous bottle of the 10 year old and saw my mistake. American beer, yes. Swill seems to suggest a cynicism on the part of the distiller. The cynical hawking of swill seems to be more of a behavior found with American beer brewers. Certainly not Auchentoshan. I am a true lover of Scotch and I find that I really like to live with different ones. A friend of mine enjoys Dewars and who am I to question that.
There must be something in it for him and as long as he enjoys it, I am happy for him for his journey has taken him to a place of contentment. To me, the enjoyment of Scotch is like an odyssey where we can travel down a road with a variety of distillers to get their particular take on what is a true art form. It is a personal odyssey though and the best reviews are ones where someone can convey a sense of what we can expect before making our purchase.
Snobbery gets us no where. I sense no cynicism with Auchentoshan and depending on the mood, the season, the food or the company, I really like the Auchentoshan Classic.

Must Try your rating system in my opinion, but I would love to read a tasting review by you. Thanks for the kind words, Matt! Have you tried Redbreast 12 year? I have not tried Redbreast 12 year…it is one of those whiskies that my drinking friends and I would mention as something that we wanted to try next, but you know how that goes…. Midelton Distillery is amazing comparable to Heaven Hill here in the Bluegrass state with all of the different whiskies expressions that that they produce with their still versatility i.
I am not a collector, but a drinker! I am still adamant that you should turn this blog into a book!. You can do it Nathan! I graduated from the University of Louisville go Cards …one of my class mates in the graduate history program in the early s I double major in history and english is an authority in all things whiskey, and turned his Medieval graduate studies into a 20 plus year career working for Diageo…Micheal Veach, who has written several books on the history of Bourbon whiskey, but he is also very knowledgeable regarding Scotch and Irish whiskies.
He thinks, as well as I that your reviews are excellent. Please log in again. The login page will open in a new window. After logging in you can close it and return to this page. Skip to content. My notes for the Classic follow: Lightly colored. This means rather than using two stills to distill the beer-like wash twice, like most Scottish distilleries, Auchentoshan processes the new-make spirit in three stills three times.
I wonder if they ever release a cask-strength bottling! What I really want to try is the new-make spirit. Auchentoshan Classic. Share This!
