Auchentoshan The Bartender's Malt Edition 01 / 47%/ 0.7l
- In 2016 Auchentoshan Distillery held a cocktail competition where bartenders from around the world submitted their winning creations.
Product description
In 2016, Auchentoshan Distillery invited twelve bartenders from five countries (USA, Canada, UK, Sweden and Germany) to present cocktails based on their whisky.
The next step was to help put together an Auchentoshan edition, with a profile that gives the widest possibilities in creating cocktails. And so The Bartender's Malt was born, a whisky created using distillates from five decades, starting in the old 70s and ending in 2010. They came from rum, red wine and bourbon barrels, as well as German oak and Laphroaig barrels. The Bartender's Malt, bottled without an age statement, with an alcohol content of 47%, debuted in July 2017.
Nose: dried apricots, bananas, milk chocolate, breakfast cereals, toffee, honey, rum-soaked raisins, traces of anise and tobacco.
Taste: banana cake, honey, buttered toast, toffee, a touch of cinnamon, candied ginger, nutmeg and a delicate hint of mint.
Finish: medium long, warming, with notes of barley malt, cinnamon, graham crackers and a distant hint of smoke.
