- Description
- Distilled in 1966 and matured for 31 years in cask #801, this is a rare window into Auchentoshan's fruity 1960s spirit. The extended aging has developed complex layers of dried orchard fruit, polished wood, and subtle spice, with the triple distillation creating an elegant, refined mouthfeel. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of oak and honey. A collector's piece for those seeking the depth that only decades in bottle can achieve.
