A ‘valinch’ is the cellar master’s best friend. It’s the tube that goes into the cask to pull out samples for him to taste and determine if the whisky is ready for bottling. The perfect name for this cask-strength version of Auchentoshan’s Classic expression. Auchentoshan is the only triple-distilled malt in all of Scotland, making it smooth, smooth, smooth. Valinch gives a kick though, because it’s cask strength.
