Taste & character

Aroma A rich and inviting nose with notes of honey, ripe fruit, citrus, supported by subtle sweetness and refined cask influence.

Taste Soft and smooth on the palate. You taste the sweetness of tangerine and lime, beautifully intertwined with notes of ginger, nuts, and a light touch of oak.

Finish A medium-length and dry finish with a pleasant spiciness and a lasting reminder of roasted nuts.

Serving tips & combinations

The ultimate tasting moment

• Neat: Serve neat at room temperature, or add a few drops of water to open up the aromas and soften the texture.

• Glassware: Use a Glencairn glass or a tulip-shaped glass to capture the subtle aromas well.

Food pairings

• Sweetness: Pairs well with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, aged cheese, smoked dishes, or a fine cigar, depending on the style of the whisky.

• Cheese: The perfect partner for Henri Willig Aged Gouda. The nutty tones of the cheese pair fantastically with the almond nuances in the whisky.

• Savoury: A bowl of Marcos Tonda Delicatesse almonds enhances the natural nutty profile of this Lowland malt.

The perfect gift

• The Auchentoshan 12 Years is an ideal gift for someone who wants to get acquainted with single malt whisky. Its smoothness makes it a very accessible gift that will be appreciated by almost any whisky lover.
