Auchentoshan is known for their triple distillation. By distilling a third time, they are creating a lighter, less pungent spirit to begin with.

Their abv on their final distillation is around 81% abv where all other Scotch whisky producers achieve only around 70% abv by distilling only twice. Their 12 year old bottling gets aged primarily in used bourbon barrels and a small portion in ex sherry casks.

Tasting Notes

"The aroma is full of tropical fruits and toasted cereal. Upon tasting, you'll get coconut, vanilla, and caramel. This isn't a P-Funkadelic, malty Scotch whisky, but rather a smooth jazz version. Soothing and mellow, this is a whisky perfect for bourbon drinkers longing to make the leap to Scotch-land. "
