Distillery Notes
Every last drop of this spectacular Scotch is triple distilled then matured for over twelve years. Our Lowland Single Malt Whisky has the tempting aroma of toasted almonds, caramelised toffee and the signature smooth delicate Auchentoshan taste.
Tasting Notes
Color: In appearance, each bottle has a crisp golden honey hue. What gives whisky its colour? The maturing process over 12 years as the liquid comes into contact with the barrel. The longer a whisky matures will determine its colour and flavour profile.
Nose: A Single Malt Scotch whisky with a distinctive aroma of crème brulee to the nose with a burst of citrus and then the signature nuttiness and green leafiness you would expect from Auchentoshan.
Palate: A smooth whisky taste with sweet notes along with hints of tangerine and lime characterize this 12 year old.
Finish: This particular whisky offers a gingery and slightly dry finish with a pleasant, lingering nuttiness.
Awards/Reviews
Best Scotch Lowlands Single Malt (12 Yr & Under) - World Whiskies Awards 2022
94 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2022
"Linseed oil, lemon zest, liquorice and grapes with a touch of earthy peat in the background. Orchard fruits and a little touch of spice runs through to the finish. Sublime."

92 Points, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast
"A bourbon-lover's Scotch, look for plenty of vanilla and oak from first sip straight through the finish, plus echoes of cinnamon and dried apricot. Adding dilution brings out mellow mocha and hazelnut, overall suggesting chocolate chip cookie dough. Aged in oloroso sherry and bourbon casks."
Best Values - Whisky Advocate
"This staple bottling is aged primarily in bourbon barrels, along with a modest portion from sherry casks. The nose yields tropical fruit, hazelnuts, caramelized sugar, and cereal notes. On the palate there’s barley, vanilla, coconut milk, a hint of sherry, light oak, and ginger. The medium-length finish offers black tea and black pepper. An ideal stepping-stone from bourbon to single malt scotch."
