Auchentoshan launches new expression

After the release of the Auchentoshan 1975 35 Year Old Bourbon Cask Matured and Auchentoshan Valinch last month, the Lowland distillery announced it newest expression on 5th July 2011.

They did so in avant-première through the social network site FACEBOOK at 6pm sharp (well, a few minutes after, but who’s counting?).

The Auchentoshan 11 Year Old 1999 Bordeaux Cask Matured is non-chill filtered and bottled at an ABV of 58%. It was matured solely on French Bordeaux casks.

The open grain of French Oak helps develop a full oaky character in this cask strength, non chill-filtered release. The result is pleasantly sharp, countering the sweet Auchentoshan style. Autumn sunset to the eye, the aroma is citric sharp balanced by lingeringcreamy sweetness. On the tongue there’s vanilla with layered fruit andwood spices – then a long, lingering finish. It will hit the shelves soon at a RRP of £46,99 (UK). Inside sources tell us that it will be available in the States as well as European markets soon.

Enjoy!
