Auchentoshan 1957 | 50 Year Old | Cask 479Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky This is the second and last cask from 1957. An Oloroso shery cask that has matured for a whopping 50 years. Auchentoshan is light enough to age exceptionally well, in fact it doesn't really become stunning until it has a good thirty years behind it. This bottling is not as intense as the previous 50yo and as result balances the distillery character and wood with dazzling freshness. A truly beautiful dram that is full

not to mention the fact that it was bottled in 1991 so should be developing all kinds of new nuances now after nearly twenty years of bottle maturation
