Lot number: 002007

Winning bid: £80

Auchentoshan 12 year old lowland malt. Bottled in ceramic flagon to celebrate the centenary of Clydebank 1886-1986 at 43%.

The late Michael Jackson's tasting notes from Whisky Magazine describes it thus:

Nose: Soft. Warm grass on a summer's day. Pastry. Custard tarts. Vanilla.

Palate: Sesame. Nutty. Oily

Finish: Candied citrus peel. Orange zest. Cedar. Oak

Comment: Gently restorative. Subtleties gradually become apparent. Not quite as complex as I remember it.
