More information Auchentoshan Reserve 12 Years (Lowland) Whisky
Auchentoshan 12 years is an exceptional whisky that comes from a triple distillation and a final passage through Sherry barrels
Auchentoshan was built in 1800. After its foundation, it changed hands multiple times, and was bought by Eadie Cairns in 1969, who rebuilt it completely. Cairns sold Auchentoshan to Morrison Bowmore distillers in 1984.
Auchentoshan is located at the foot of the Kilpatrick hills on the outskirts of Clydebank in West Dunbartonshire, near the Erskine Bridge. It is one of six distilleries in the Scottish Lowlands along with Bladnoch, Glenkinchie and recently Daftmill Distillery, Annandale Distillery and Ailsa Bay Distillery.
Auchentoshan distillery (pronounced Aw-khen-tosh-an) is a Single Malt whisky distillery in the west of Scotland. The name Auchentoshan is Gaelic and translates as "the corner of the field". The distillery is also known as "Glasgow's Malt Whisky" due to its proximity to Glasgow and "the breakfast whisky" due to its sweet and delicate nature.
Unusually for a Scottish distillery, Auchentoshan practices triple distillation.
Generally, the final stage of Scotch whisky production involves distilling the fermented mash in two copper stills.
In Auchentoshan, a third still known as the "Intermediate Still" helps to give a final spirit strength of 81% ABV (162 proof). This triple distillation, in addition to an unpeated malt, gives Auchentoshan a more delicate and sweet flavour than many Scotch Whiskies. Maturation is mainly in ex-bourbon barrels and ex-sherry butts, though some Auchentoshans will mature in French wine casks.
Auchentoshan Reserve 12 Years
Triple distilled then matured for over twelve years. This Lowland Single Malt Whisky has the tempting aroma of toasted almonds, caramelized toffee and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste.
