Valinch is the instrument used to draw whisky from a cask; as such, the whisky is aptly named due to the cask strength and un-chill filtered nature of the product. A limited batch release, the 2012 version is bottled at 114.4 proof and aged in first fill ex-bourbon casks. This is a pumped up version of their Auchentoshan Classic bottling.
Auchentoshan 2012 Valinch Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: There are deep dark fruits on the nose with a huge malty presence.
Palate: Drinking this neat will enhance the cinnamon red hots on your tongue and gums. Adding a few drops of water will calm the fire just a tad while enhancing the vanilla and sweet chocolate notes.
Finish: The finish is lingering with hints of meringue and custard.
