Auchentoshan / Glen Keith (TWA & East Village Whisky)
The Whisky Agency ( founded 2008 ) teamed up with East Village Whisky Company ( founded 2018 ) to celebrate their anniversary. I reckon we're talking about Carsten and Peter's personal anniversaries then. I'm terrible at guessing ages but I think they could be the same age indeed. They selected two bottlings, both similar to previous TWA releases. Auchentoshan 25 yo 1999 (50,6%, The Whisky Agency 'Birthdays United' for East Village Whisky Co 2025, barrel, 120 btl.) Nose: forthcoming, with lots of yellow fruits. Peaches, some lime, later also mango and a bit of honey roundness. Drops of tropical fruit syrup. Then subtle hints of beehive notes and sunflower oil, along with dandelions and powdered sugar. Light vanilla. Much better than your typical Auchentoshan, ha!

Benriach 1996 / Glen Keith 1993 (Whisky Dreamers)

Always from the most exclusive corners of the Malts of Scotland warehouse. Currently on offer: Glen Keith 1993 and Benriach 1996.

Nose: a very fine fruitbomb, full of peaches, nectarines, gooseberries and green mango. A lot of honey and warm waxy notes, along with some honeysuckle and vanilla cake. Almond oil. Over time it also shows a grassier note and mild white blossoms, adding a sense of vinho verde to it. Mouth: even better than expected. Totally exuberant fruits, Bushmills style. We have pineapple, mango, papaya and hints of lime juice. Very juicy, who dropped the vitamin tablet? Later also creamy vanilla and a drop of calvados, as well as greener notes like mint leaves and eucalyptus. Finish: quite long, now getting citrus
