SMWS 5.101 Auchentoshan 2003 18 Year Old

Distilled in 2003 at the Lowland distillery of Auchentoshan, this 18-year-old single malt from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS 5.101) offers a uniquely characterful expression of the spirit. Matured exclusively in a first-fill bourbon barrel – one of only 171 bottles – it develops a fascinating profile hinting at ripe banana alongside a surprising touch of black pepper spice. Bottled at a robust 56.4% ABV, this dram delivers a full-bodied experience, showcasing the Society’s commitment to showcasing exceptional, cask-strength whiskies directly from the source, and a testament to the art of single cask selection from our Glasgow base. Expect a complex and rewarding taste, reflective of Auchentoshan’s delicate spirit amplified by years of careful maturation.
