Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 549: Auchentoshan 14 Year Old Sherry Cask Taiwan Exclusive

Last summer, Mark suddenly saw a post on social media about this 14-year-old Auchentoshan being bottled exclusively for Taiwan. Fortunately, he has quite a few friends who travel frequently and it was only a matter of asking the question on Facebook before someone – in this case his friend Lars who divides his life between Germany and Hong Kong – made it clear to him that he could easily get hold of this, take the bottle to Germany and ship it from there. Mark begged him on his bare knees (sorta) to score two; one for the collection, one to open. And so he did… Strangely, it says ‘Aged 14 Years – Sherry Cask – Sweet & Rich’ on the label, even though the small print indicates that it is a vatting of bourbon and sherry casks. Oh, well.

WHISKY OF THE YEAR 2024

Folks, here it is. Whisky of the year.

It’s been a tricky decision to put one of these products on a bigger pedestal than the others, especially with just one of them breaking that £100 price tag.

The winner is well deserved, but a shout out to the huge effort that goes into creating and releasing whiskies like this. A majority of these liquid have been easy to aquire, depending on where you are in the world. I’m just hoping you all get to try and share these amongst all of your other whisky fans and family. That’s what it’s all for.
