  Auchentoshan 12 years old Delicate and Layered Single Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0019

  Every single drop from Auchentoshan is distilled three times. Not some of it, not in special series, all of it. No other Scottish distillery does this consistently, and it is the whole reason the whisky is as bright as it is.

  The Expert's Description

  Auchentoshan 12 Years Old Double Cask is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 40%. It combines the distillery’s characteristic triple distillation with maturation in two cask types.

  The third distillation removes the heavier, oily compounds and collects only the lightest and purest part of the spirit. The result is a soft, bright and fruity malt with less body than a double distilled whisky, but with far more clarity in the fruit.

  The Double Cask maturation adds depth and warmth without the whisky losing the light, silky style Auchentoshan is known for. The distillery sits at Dalmuir just outside Glasgow and was founded in 1823.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and bright citrus first, with toasted nuts and a light honeyed sweetness behind. There is a fine clean malty floor, and the sherry casks give a suggestion of dried fruit without taking up room.

  Palate

  Soft and silky. Vanilla sweetness and citrus open, then nuts and a touch of spiced oak from the sherry portion. At 40% it drinks easily, and the triple distillation is clearly felt in the light texture.

  Finish

  Medium length. Vanilla, malt and a light nutty dryness that lets go cleanly without bitterness.

  Did You Know?

  Auchentoshan sits at Dalmuir on the Clyde, practically within the suburbs of Glasgow. The distillery was bombed during the Second World War when German aircraft targeted the shipyards along the river, and one of the warehouses burned. The story goes that the whisky ran down into a pond on the grounds. That pond is still there.

  Auchentoshan 1999/2024 Signatory 24 year old Symingtons Choice Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 55,6%

  Item no.: 222333-833690

  A triple distilled whisky is light in body from birth. Leaving one in cask for twenty-four years and still having something left requires the wood to have been gentle, and somebody to have had the patience not to empty it too early.

  The Expert's Description

  Auchentoshan 1999/2024 Signatory 24 Years Old Symingtons Choice is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2024 at 55.6% cask strength. It belongs to Signatory’s Symingtons Choice range, created as a tribute to the house founder Andrew Symington.

  Auchentoshan is the only Scottish distillery that consistently distils everything three times. That gives a silky, elegant spirit which with age has developed a complex and refined character rather than turning heavy. Twenty-four years is a long time for that particular style.

  The whisky is bottled at cask strength without chill filtration and with natural colour. Auchentoshan sits at Dalmuir outside Glasgow and was founded in 1823.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Delicate notes of honey, ripe stone fruit and fresh citrus open, beautifully balanced by vanilla and a light nutty tone from the maturation. At 55.6% the alcohol is up front, but the aromas carry it.

  Palate

  Full and harmonious with layers of caramelised malt, dried fruit, orange peel and subtle spice. The high cask strength gives intensity while Auchentoshan’s characteristic softness is preserved. There is no harshness despite the strength.

  Finish

  Long, warm and silky with persistent notes of oak, chocolate and a wisp of tobacco, testimony to the whisky’s long maturation.

  Investment Potential

  High. Twenty-four year old Lowland releases are rare, because the region has few active distilleries and because the light style does not always survive such long maturation. On top of that, Symingtons Choice is a named tribute range of limited scope, and the cask cannot be recreated.

  Did You Know?

  Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, and the Symingtons Choice range carries his name. The company today also owns the Edradour distillery in Perthshire, and Signatory’s warehousing and bottling sit right beside it. Naming a range after the founder is not unusual; doing so while he is still active in the business is rather more so.

  Auchentoshan Three Wood Single Lowland Malt Whisky 43%

  Item no.: 22227865438-144

  The name is pronounced roughly ock-un-tosh-un and is Gaelic for the corner of the field. That says something about how modest the site was when the distillery was built. Today the suburbs of Glasgow surround it.

  The Expert's Description

  Auchentoshan Three Wood is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in three cask types, bourbon casks, Oloroso sherry casks and Pedro Ximénez casks, and bottled at 43%. Combining the three gives a markedly more complex profile than the distillery’s brighter core expressions.

  Auchentoshan distils everything three times, which gives a light, silky spirit with less oily body than a double distilled malt. That is precisely why the heavy sherry casks can be used so freely here: there is no forceful spirit character for the wood to fight against.

  The order matters. The bourbon casks lay the foundation with vanilla and citrus, Oloroso adds nuts and dried fruit, and PX rounds things off with raisins and a thick sweetness. The distillery sits at Dalmuir outside Glasgow and was founded in 1823.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark fruit and raisins first, far fuller than you expect from a Lowland. Vanilla and citrus from the bourbon casks sit beneath, and there is a nutty tone from the Oloroso.

  Palate

  Full and sweet. Raisins, dates and toffee open, then nuts and a lightly spiced oak arrive. The triple distillation is still felt in the texture, which is softer than the sweetness would otherwise suggest. At 43% it drinks easily.

  Finish

  Medium and soft. Raisins, nuts and a final vanilla sweetness that lets go calmly.

  Did You Know?

  Auchentoshan has been a landmark on the Scottish west coast for over a hundred and eighty years. The name is Gaelic for the corner of the field, which fitted precisely when the distillery was built in 1823, as it then stood in open country. Today Glasgow has grown out around it and the distillery sits within the city’s suburbs.
