Classic examples of Lowland Malts, made by the region’s traditional
triple-distillation method. They are very light, certainly, but that is
the Lowland style. “Light” does not mean lack of character; these are
well-defined single malts, with plenty of complexity. If you fancy single
malts, but do not care for intensity, they age surprisingly well,
especially in their late teens and early 20s.
The
name is pronounced “Och’n’tosh’n”, as though it were an imprecation. The
distillery lies between the river Clyde and the Kilpatrick Hills, just
outside Glasgow. Auchentoshan was founded around 1800, rebuilt after the
Second World War, and re-equipped in 1974. A decade later, it was
acquired by a private company, Stanley P. Morrison, providing a Lowland
partner for their
Islay and Highland distilleries, Bowmore and Glen Garioch. The company is
now called Morrison Bowmore, and controlled by Suntory of Japan.
HOUSE STYLE
Light, lemon grassy, oily. Aperitif or restorative.
