On the palate, the Auchroisk Bourbon Finish by Murray McDavid reveals a velvety texture, enhanced by a well-controlled 44.5% ABV that promotes aromatic expression. The attack is smooth and elegant, giving way to a mid-palate rich in flavors: creamy vanilla, acacia honey, buttery biscuit, and juicy yellow fruits, lifted by a refreshing lemony note. The bourbon signature is elevated by warm notes of vanilla oak, custard, and perfectly melted brown sugar, providing volume and length on the palate. A fine spicy thread – white pepper and mild nutmeg – structures the whole, avoiding any excess sweetness. The finish, clean and persistent, revives malt and vanilla aromas and reveals a subtle woody impression, for a tasting full of finesse.
