Whisky Ramblings Via Video #101

Mark Dermul, Belgian Whiskyblogger, tries the latest limited release from Auchentoshan, a 25 Year Old beauty from 1988. It matured for 8 years on bourbon casks before it was transferred to red wine casks for a finish of no less than 17 years, the longest in the industry. This is more a double maturation than a finish, in my book. Auchentoshan is one of the few distilleries that really succeeds in getting the red wine cask finish right. The delicate nature of the triple distilled spirit no doubt has a lot to do with that. Oh, and did I tell you that it is a beauty, yet? Yes, it is!
