Whiskies from 'Auchentoshan Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Auchentoshan Distillery.

• Auchentoshan 10 Years Old

Very expressive when young – as might be expected from a classic Lowlander.

• Auchentoshan 10 Years Old

At 10 years, Auchentoshan makes an expressive, eloquent claim to being the classic Lowlander.

• Auchentoshan 10 Years Old

Lots of American Oak, and a super clean character. Nowt wrong, but not quite enough right.

• Auchentoshan 17 Years Old, Bordeaux Wine

The wine finish brings in sweetness and fruitiness but without masking the delicate grassiness and lightness of the Lowland style. A real cracker, perfect for a wake up call.

• Auchentoshan 18 Years Old, Oloroso

An underrated malt. Check it out.

• Auchentoshan 1966, 31 Years Old

A fine whisky, but does something as fresh and soft benefit from quite so much ageing?

• Auchentoshan 1973, 29 Years Old

The chestnut colour betrays the time this whisky has spent in oak. I have tasted much woodier whiskies-but not oakier Auchentoshans.

• Auchentoshan 1976 30 Years Old

Better on palate than the nose, but so fragile it shatters easily.

• Auchentoshan 1976 40 Years Old

Old but still fresh. All very discreet. At its best neat.

• Auchentoshan 1978, 18 Years Old

This seems to me the definitive light tasting (triple-distilled) Lowlander. In theory, such whiskies mature young, but this has aged beautifully.

• Auchentoshan 1990 16 Years Old Bourbon Matured

Draff mixed with whipped cream? It’s a Glasgwegian cranachan.

• Auchentoshan 21 Years Old

Gently restorative. Subtleties gradually become apparent. Not quite as complex as I remember it.

• Auchentoshan 21 Years Old

A fruity rumble in the hay. Oo arr missus.

• Auchentoshan Select

• Auchentoshan Three Wood

Matching Auchentoshan with Pedro Ximinez is like putting Benny Lynch in the ring with Marciano. What do you get? It’s unimaginable, but in whisky it works.

• Auchentoshan Three Wood

Lowlands just as aperitifs? Pah! A well constructed malt with varied wood flavour, although the prevalence of sherry flavours makes it atypical of the region.
