Auchentoshan
The Auchentoshan distillery (“corner of the field”) lies on the western edge of Glasgow, close to the River Clyde and the Erskine Bridge. Although it uses water from the Kilpatrick Hills, which already belong to the Highland whisky region, Auchentoshan is counted among the Lowlands. It is the only remaining distillery that uses triple distillation, with three stills of different sizes, a process that was once typical and common in this region and makes the whisky soft and fragrant. According to legend, it was founded by John Bulloch as early as around 1800, although 1823 is given as the official founding date. Today, after an eventful history and countless changes of ownership, the distillery belongs to the Beam Suntory group.
With its three stills of different sizes, Auchentoshan produces around 1,650,000 litres of alcohol a year. Most of the spirit is used for the distillery's own brand & is therefore rarely found in blends. Every now and then an independently bottled cask appears on the market. The core range is very extensive and includes various ages as well as different cask combinations.
Although the new make has an alcohol content of 80-82% after triple distillation, it is diluted with water straight away and goes into the cask at 63.5%. The distillery's basic style is exactly what you would expect from triple distillation: soft & pleasant. The older Auchentoshan bottlings are genuinely impressive, with a surprisingly full-bodied complexity.
This whiskey comes from an unnamed Lowland distillery.
