Auchentoshan 12 Year Old, Bourbon & Oloroso Sherry Cask, 40%

The finish is described as smooth, balanced and gently sweet, which sounds easygoing rather than especially long or forceful. Mandarins and toffee give the palate a clear, pleasant centre. A calm, approachable character, though there’s no stated finish length to lean on.
