Auld Goonsy’s Teaninich 12 Year Old is a Highland single malt scotch distilled in 2008 and drawn from a single cask, finished in Oloroso sherry cask wood and bottled after 12 years. Limited to 291 bottles, it is non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength. U.S. retail price is around $241.99.
Auld Goonsy and his tasting panel of experts from the whisky industry have done a good job here. The experience is a positive one, but the palate’s sweet and sour fruits and vanilla cream, along with those wax notes and touch of smoke are particularly notable. If I was to be super critical, it does get a bit salty and a touch oaky at the end for my taste, but there are certainly more positives than there are negatives here.
