The Auchentoshan 9 Year Old Whisky Galore is from a batch distilled in 2000 and is bottled by single malt specialist Duncan Taylor. A Scottish Lowland whisky the Auchentoshan is triple distilled.
Pale gold in appearance, a nose of vanilla and coconut with a hint of green apple and a tang of citrus zest. The rich and creamy expression presents a sweet vanilla cream palate with a hint of fresh green apple and mint with a fresh floral, zesty finish.
BACKGROUND
Auchentoshan Distillery was established in the Dumbartonshire estate of Auchentoshan in 1823. Since then it has had six careful owners who have handed down its unique production process.This Lowland Malt Distillery rests at the foot of the Old Kilpatrick Hills, overlooking the famous River Clyde, once renowned as the Scottish gateway to the world. From this vantage point, Auchentoshan Distillery has witnessed many historic sights over its long existence. Auchentoshan, meaning `Corner of the field’ in Gaelic, produces a delicate, smooth and light single Malt Whisky. The subtle aroma and flavour of its Spirit is achieved by the unique Triple Distillation process, whereby the spirit is not distilled twice, as elsewhere in Scotland, but instead, distilled three times producing even greater refinement to its character. The distillery has been extensively refurbished since its acquisition by Morrison Bowmore Distillers Ltd in 1984, although it still retains all its traditional production methods including its unique Triple Distillation process.
Duncan Taylor has its origins in Glasgow where the company was initially a merchant and broker of Scotch Whisky casks within the Industry. When the company moved its headquarters to the North East of Scotland, close to Speyside - Scotland’s largest whisky producing region – it also took the decision to focus on the production and marketing of its own brands and to cease the “brokering” of whisky in cask form to Distillery companies and Independent bottlers.
