Auchentoshan Shieldmaiden Ylva 24 Year Old, Bourbon Cask, 1990, The Duchess, 51.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

84 / 100

The soft vanilla and fruit on the nose sound inviting, but the palate’s bitter oak and chalky edge give it a firmer turn. That contrast keeps it from reading as simply sweet; the medium, fruity-leafy finish sounds measured rather than lingering.
