The Auchentoshan Distillery is a whisky distillery located in Clydebank, Scotland. It was founded in 1823 by John Bulloch and is currently owned by Beam Suntory. Auchentoshan is known for producing a range of single malt Scotch whiskies.

History[edit | edit source]

The distillery was established in 1823 by John Bulloch, who saw the potential of the area's natural resources for whisky production. Over the years, Auchentoshan has gained a reputation for its unique triple distillation process, which sets it apart from other distilleries in Scotland.

Production[edit | edit source]

Auchentoshan Distillery uses traditional methods to produce its single malt Scotch whiskies. The distillery sources its water from the nearby Kilpatrick Hills, which is known for its soft and pure water. The barley used in the production is locally sourced from the surrounding farms.

The distillation process at Auchentoshan involves triple distillation, which is a unique feature of the distillery. This process results in a smoother and lighter whisky compared to those produced through double distillation. Auchentoshan whiskies are typically aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, which adds complexity and depth to the final product.

Products[edit | edit source]

Auchentoshan Distillery offers a range of single malt Scotch whiskies, each with its own distinct flavor profile. Some of the popular expressions include:

  • Auchentoshan 12 Year Old: A smooth and approachable whisky with notes of citrus, vanilla, and oak.
  • Auchentoshan Three Wood: A rich and complex whisky aged in three different types of casks - bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximenez sherry.
  • Auchentoshan 18 Year Old: A well-aged whisky with a balance of fruity and nutty flavors.
