Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Auchentoshan 18 как мягкий, лёгкий виски с цитрусовыми, ванильными и медовыми нотами, иногда с лёгкой горчинкой и тонким дымным/серным оттенком. Мнения о теле и финише расходятся: от «водянистого» и короткого до более плотного и приятного.
развернуть подробно
В ароматике отзывы чаще всего отмечают цитрусовые — лимон, апельсин, цедру, а также ваниль, мёд, зерновые и травянисто-свежие тона (свежие опилки, зелень). Несколько отзывов упоминают лёгкий серный или дымный нюанс: у кого-то он воспринимается как неожиданный и добавляющий интереса, у кого-то — как минимальный фон, не переходящий во вкус. Также встречаются ноты сухофруктов, орехов, шерри-влияния (изюм), воска и лака, а один отзыв описывает молочно-сливочные и «мыльные» оттенки при общей закрытости аромата.
Во вкусе преобладают мягкость и дружелюбность: тоффи, ваниль, мёд, зерновые, лимон, мята, «After Eight», орехи, иногда ирис и сахарная глазурь. Тело описывают по-разному — от умеренно маслянистого до слегка водянистого и тонкого. Финиш в большинстве отзывов короткий или средне-короткий, сухой, с дубовой горчинкой, белым перцем, имбирной теплотой, воском и лёгкой цитрусовой цедрой; отдельно отмечается вяжущий, «ссущий щёки» характер. Часть отзывов считает виски удачной, аккуратно сделанной и приятной покупкой по разумной цене, другие указывают на простой «экономный» профиль и желали бы более высокой крепости и нефильтрованности.

For what it sets out to be—a straightforward, pleasing spirit—it succeeds admirably and is a good option to have on the shelf.

Auchentoshan 18 Year Old Vivid & Indulgent 43%. 15ml sample in white HDPE from a CWC tasting set, sampled May 2026. Very dark golden. Aroma is candied lemon, lemon-infused fudge, toffee pennies, hint of lemongrass almost borders into a soapy chlorine note at times. Pleasant. Body is moderately oily. Taste is gentle up-front – buttery oak -- but rising into sugary grapefruit juice, icing sugar and sandstone before culminating in an assertive oaky bitterness in the finish – a little abrasive perhaps. Waxy astringent dried citrus peel linger. Cheek-sucking astringency to it. Okay stuff – I would say it has a classic economy-made Scotch whisky profile, but I can get on board with that sometimes. 3.4/81

S 7 Tasting a sample from the 2021/2022 release I believe. It tastes very different from my previous Auchentoshan 18... It feels Auchentoshan (?) but the peat smoke on the palate is alien. I specifically cracked another peaty dram just to confirm I’m not out of my mind. N 25 Old oak mixed with zesty lemon peels. A whiff of vanilla, honey, and white pepper. Fairly malty. Now a whiff of sherry cask influence (juicy raisin) P 26 Fruits (freshly squeeze apple juice, clementine) come out right in front. The mouthfeel is a touch watery. A whiff of peat smoke (where does this come from?? Was the bourbon cask heavily charred or did they accidentally use some hidden peated malt?). More vanilla and oak surfacing. F 23 Mid-short, slightly dry finish. Oak biscuit. A touch waxy.
Triple distilled. Matured in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks. Chill-filtered. Coloured. Thick slowly forming primary legs. Thin secondary legs. Rare trailing droplets. Benefits from time spent in the glass. Holds water well. Advanced level whisky.
Elegantly matured standard bottling. The hint of sulfur in the nose surprises me a lot. Makes him more exciting than expected.

All in all a good purchase. (By the way, I'm already a fan of Auchentoshan, with its typical slightly drier aftertaste)

| Нос | 88 | Friendly scent, citrus, applesauce, grassy, fresh sawdust |
| Вкус | 92 | Tones of toffee, vanilla, nuts, oily, and (indeed, as my predecessor wrote) in the distance very slightly peated, but really minimal.. Very very gentle and friendly. |
| Финиш | 92 | Oily aftertaste, a bit of a very lightly smoked toffee-like taste lingers the longest for me. Furthermore, as I am used to from Auchentoshan, a slightly drier aftertaste. |

Green apples, vanilla, grass, a soft body and a hint of tea as embellishment, the sherry barrel adds a little sweetness to the flavor
A significant step up from the previous 18y official bottling. The whisky is light and has been carefully constructed. Beautiful lemon note, after eight chocolate, mint, toffee, cereals, and honey. Faint vanilla, but unfortunately also minimal Sulphur (might be interpreted as faint smoke by some) are in the background. The viscosity is on the lighter side. It is not too sweet with a drying finish - I like that very much! A nice whisky for a fair price... I got it for 62 Euro.

| Нос | 85 | Minimal Sulphur that luckily does not translate into the taste nor finish. Beautiful citrus, cereal and honey notes. |
| Вкус | 87 | Quite charming, actually. After eight cookies, cereals, honey, toffee, lemon, and a clear mint note. Good balance between the mentioned flavours. Just a little bit too thin when it comes to texture. I would love to see this whisky at 46% ABV and unchillfiltered. |
| Финиш | 85 | Short, drying, pleasant with no off notes. Suprisingly, black pepper and ginger heat exert themselves which makes the whisky even more interesting for me. |
Aromas of milky oolong. And dairy cuisine in general. Due to the lightness, the aromas are very closed and barely perceptible at first. A fairly soft, drinkable whisky. Light bitterness. Like a hint of soap.
