Auchentoshan 1965 42 Year Old

[John]

Auchentoshan Distillery has launched a premium limited edition 42 year old expression, available exclusively in World Duty Free shops.



It is a limited edition of only 123 ottles, each bottle is individually hand numbered and will retail at £2,000 (around US$3,300) in World of Whiskies stores at London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Edinburgh and Glasgow airports from 29 October.

The vintage 42 year old expression began life in 1965 when it was filled into American oak barrels before resting for 42 years at the lowland distillery warehouse near Glasgow.

Tasting Note
Golden barley in colour, the nose is described as having intense scents of honey, vanilla and coconut, balanced with fresh citrus and cooling mint tones. An initial sweet, mellow maltiness on the palate gives way to a delicate finish, said the distillery.
