Bourbon Barrel MoS 17042/ Dist: 2007 Btl: 2017/ Tasted: Oct 2017
Neat, the nose it is quite alcoholic with straw, apricot and earthy cereal. With water, subtly fragrant with a touch of sweeter barley.
Straightforward on the palate with lemon, barley and alcohol. Good rounded mouth-feel with water. Neat the finish is masked but shows hints of toasted cereal and coffee. Water brings out rose petal and spice notes. In conclusion: Simple but attractive.

Marsala Finish/ Cask: MoS 17004/ Dist: 2000 Btl: 2017/ Tasted: Oct 2017
The nose is robust, spicy, sherry-like dried fruit with hints of toasted cereal. Quite aromatic with floral over-tones.
The palate is edgy and slightly earthy wood tannins and pruney dried fruit. Touch of citrus and coffee on the middle. Long and spicy with drying tannins and a subtle herbal after-taste.
Whisky According to Chris Whiskyman 
That one sounds nice. I really like independently bottled Auchentoshans. 🙂
