Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 420: Auchentoshan 18 Year Old 2003 SMWS 5.78

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tastes SMWS 5.78. At the whisky festival in Ghent, his good friend Chris Lauriers stood behind the table of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. He beckoned Mark closer and said, ‘I have something for you’. Mark saw the number 5.78 on the label and knew immediately that I had to taste it. After all, number 5 means Auchentoshan. It’s already the 78th single cask bottled by the SMWS of Mark’s favorite Lowlander. In this case an 18 years old from 2003 matured on a 1st fill ex-bourbon barrel bottled at no less than 54.9%. Wow!
