Description
Auchentoshan 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an outstanding Lowland whisky known for its exceptional smoothness and complexity. The Auchentoshan distillery, located near Glasgow, is one of the few Scottish distilleries that triple distils its whiskies. This method ensures a remarkable softness and elegance that sets this single malt apart from other bottlings.
After a maturation period of 12 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, this whisky develops a fascinating balance between sweet, fruity and nutty flavours. With an alcohol content of 40% by volume, it is accessible yet full of flavour. Its smooth and harmonious profile makes it an ideal whisky for beginners and connoisseurs alike.
