Bourbon Cask 11030, bottled at 56% and Ncf.. Bottled on 1-10-2013,

This is stunning,

Nose, Its fantastic, loads of vanilla and all things sweet, werthers original, fresh citrus notes, lemon peel, orange peel, even some spicy notes popping up.. take your time, its worth waiting for this one to open up fully.

Taste, It just got better, this is nector worthy of the gods, smooth, rich and ever so heavenly.. vanilla, toasted almonds, a little spicy too, pepper maybe, touches of toffee apple, candied orange.

Finish, Spicy and sweet, not overly long but still delightful,

Gems like this need to be bottled at cask strength and single barrels, well done... more please.

It is just fantastic, only problem is I don't think there is much left Crying or Very sad

its one of those barrels you wish you had all to your self, hide it away in a dark room and only show it to your best friends.... I wish I could get another bottle before its all gone, although I know Auchentoshan will replace it with something good...ready for my next visit...
