Auchentoshan Triple Distilled 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Auchentoshan distillery is located in Clydebank, in the heart of the Lowlands whisky region. Auchentoshan employ a triple distillation method, an unusual process which sees the spirit enter the cask at a staggering 82% Alcohol by volume. After maturation and bottling, the whiskies are typically light, fruity and pristinely balanced. In simple terms, they're dangerously drinkable and offer the devoted whisky drinker a 'go to' malt for warmer weather and the gift buyer an ideal choice when unsure about someone's whisky preferences.
Tasting note: Bright gold. Attractive and pure oatmeal / muesli bar accent to the malt; gets more dried grass-like with exposure with hints of fruit. A clean, fresh delivery offers dilute honey, cereal and warming gingery moments to round off a soft-centered, light to mid weighted whisky that's a simple pleasure. 40% Alc./Vol.
