Description

Auchentoshan dark oak single malt whisky is the result of searching the world for exceptional casks and then expertly putting them to use. Unlike most aged single malts Auchentoshan dark oak is tripled distilled before being left to rest in a combination of bourbon, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenex sherry casks which allows it to mellow. The end result is a whisky that is rich, smooth and complex all in appearance, aroma and taste.

Established in 1823 in the Dunbartonshire estate of Auchenstoshan, this distillery has a rich history of producing some impeccable single malt scotch whiskies. With multiple owners over the years, it last changed hands to Suntory (from Bowmore) in 1994.

Pronounced "Ock-un-tosh-un" - say that fast 3 times after a few drams!

Taste: The taste is spicy and sweet with roasted hazelnuts, brittle and toffee notes, crème caramel, candied apple and sugar almonds with a touch of liquorice stick tannins.


Finish: The finish is floral and sweet with notes of honeysuckle and caramel bars.
