Auchentoshan stands alone.Born in 1823,we are Scotland's only remaining distillery to insist on triple distillery every drop.It is a tradition we are proud to uphold.Only triple distillation allows our smooth,complex flavours to develop,as the spirit matures inside fine bourbon oak casks for over 18 years.
North American Oak casks are perfect for maturing Auchentoshan.Where once they held bourbon.now we trust our spirit to their care in the dark chill of our warehouses.Then,after maturation,there is even more to be revealed:we carefully marry these casks to create the citrus zest and unmistakable smoothness of Auchentoshan 18 Years Old.
Nose: Rife with toasty oak and vanilla spice. Chocolate cake and a lovely grassiness, damp, yet drying. Crystallised ginger.
Palate: Toasty vanilla, dark nuttiness, chestnut perhaps and something zesty, softening slightly after a time.
Finish: A malty finish, with a little custard and fresh flowers.
