Auchentoshan 18 Year SMWS 5.70 “In the absence of convention”

Like most triple distilled Lowland malts the body on this Auchentoshan is light, airy, and smooth.  While I prefer something a bit thicker, the dram manages to be jam packed with flavor and complexity.  It takes on a lot of rich sherry notes which combine well with some of the creaminess of the malt.  While there is a lot to love here, I do think the light body does hold the dram back a bit and the finish is just not quite long enough.
