The 2nd release of this cask strength version of the classic, bottled at 57.2% and NCF.
Nose.. Fresh floral scents, oranges, lemon zest, there is also vanilla and toffee in there, this is a young Whisky but a strong nose for its age.
Taste.. Sweet honey, toffee, vanilla but very fresh with the lemon and sugary orange taste prominent, there is a little oak in the background but it compliments the taste so well.
Finish.. Medium- long, not overpowering and very enjoyable, makes you want to try more..
For a young cask strength Whisky it packs a punch, this is a Whisky that should have a long future I hope, one of my favourites from the distillary

What is the age on Auchentoshan Valinch and Classic?
I am a fan of Valinch 2011, but from what I've seen Valinch 2012 has gotten a less enthusiastic reception overall. Do you know the 2011 release, and, if so, how would you compare the two?
