- Description
- Auchentoshan's 1990 vintage aged 23 years in bourbon and oloroso casks and bottled at 50.7% ABV showcases the Lowland distillery's characteristically light, elegant approach. The oloroso influence adds layers of dried citrus, ginger spice, and honeyed tea notes, while the full strength reveals the spirit's underlying complexity with proper integration of sweet and savory elements. The mouthfeel is rich and coating, with a spiced, warming finish that extends well. A special-occasion dram for those who appreciate restraint and refinement over intensity.
