Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 279: Auchentoshan 19 Year Old 1996 The Maltman
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries an Auchentoshan from The Maltman. He tried this malt years ago for the first time during a whisky dinner in The Hielander, the famous Scottish restaurant in Alkmaar, Holland, with the indomitable Wullie Macmorland behind the stove. He was so enchanted with it that he ran to the shop the very next day to buy a bottle. But as there was only one, it went into the collection and remained unopened. Fast forward to 2019 and his buddy Manny finds another bottle in another shop. Did he want it? Obviously. So now Mark can retry the malt without ‘damaging’ the collection. This Auchentoshan first matured on bourbon casks and was then finished for several months on an Amontillado sherry cask.
