Distillation & Maturation Auchentoshan 12 Year Old is a standout Lowland single malt, known for its triple distillation—a rare process in Scotch whisky that results in an exceptionally smooth, light spirit. Aged in both ex-bourbon and sherry casks, this whisky delivers a clean, elegant style with subtle sweetness and nutty depth. Bottled at 40%, it’s an accessible, polished dram for those who appreciate refinement.
Nose Fresh and fragrant with aromas of toasted almonds, crème brûlée, citrus peel and light floral notes. A touch of spice and vanilla adds warmth and softness.
Palate Smooth and mellow, the palate shows flavours of sweet barley, orange zest, caramel and toasted oak. A creamy mouthfeel carries through to a soft, slightly spiced finish with hints of hazelnut and dried fruit.
Food Pairing Pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, almond biscotti, or a pear and walnut salad. Also great alongside soft cheeses or honey-glazed chicken.
Cellaring Enjoy now while its elegance and lightness are in full bloom. Holds well after opening thanks to its triple-distilled purity.
Interesting Fact Auchentoshan is one of the very few distilleries in Scotland to triple distil every drop, producing a lighter, cleaner spirit that’s ideal for both new whisky drinkers and seasoned fans seeking finesse.
