Why we chose this cask
A Lowland malt at twenty-six years and 59.5% should be exhausting to drink. This one is not: it stays light on its feet, lemon and melon first, and the pepper only arrives at the end.
One cask, 146 bottles.
Who it is for
For the drinker who takes a gin and tonic before dinner.
Citrus, melon and a peppery finish at nearly sixty percent, which sounds like a lot and does not drink like it. A drop of water opens it further.
Flavour profile
Tasting notes
Deep gold. Noticeable beading and slow, steady legs.
Fresh and clean nose with light prickle. Fruity top notes of lemon zest, unripe melon, pineapple, and faint florals. Trace of butterscotch with water.
Light texture, fresh and sweet start, lightly acidic mid-palate, and tart, medium-length peppery finish with lingering tingling pepper.

The cask
Nº 980100161About Auchentoshan
LowlandFounded in 1823 on the edge of the Kilpatrick Hills near Clydebank, Auchentoshan is the Lowlands' most distinctive distillery and the only one in Scotland to triple distil all of its whisky. That triple distillation, fed by soft water from the surrounding hills, creates an exceptionally light and delicate Lowland style, fresh citrus, green fruit and a gentle nutty sweetness with none of the smoke found further north. Pour it from a single cask, bottled just as it left the oak, and you meet that triple-distilled finesse at its purest, one barrel's worth and not a drop more.
