Auchentoshan 1996 22 Year "The Halloween Edition" Old Particular (Douglas Laing)

The color is bright gold and gently coats the glass as it gives off a nose of barley, citrus, honeyed nuts and creamy cereal. Sweet barley coats the mouth for a rich mouthfeel, followed by intense black pepper which is balanced by citrus, creamy cereal and a hint of nuttiness. The pepper is tamed as the whiskey breathes, and it enjoys a long finish full of barley and pepper with a pleasant creaminess underneath. Bold and excellent.
