Auchentoshan 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Lowland Scotch whiskies. The distillery's commitment to triple distillation—a rarity in Scottish whisky production—yields a spirit of exceptional purity and smoothness. This meticulous process involves an additional distillation step, elevating the alcohol content and refining the whisky's character. The spirit is then matured for twelve years in a combination of American oak and sherry casks, imparting a rich tapestry of flavours. The American oak casks contribute notes of vanilla and sweet spices, while the sherry casks introduce layers of dried fruit and nuttiness, resulting in a well-balanced and complex whisky.

Established in 1823, Auchentoshan Distillery is situated near Glasgow, Scotland, at the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills. The name 'Auchentoshan' translates from Gaelic as 'corner of the field,' reflecting its picturesque location. Over the years, the distillery has garnered acclaim for its unique triple distillation process, setting it apart from other Scottish distilleries. This technique results in a lighter and more delicate spirit, often referred to as 'the breakfast whisky' due to its approachable nature. Auchentoshan has received numerous accolades, including double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, underscoring its reputation for quality and innovation in whisky production.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Golden honey hue, indicative of its maturation in both American oak and sherry casks.

  • Aroma: Enticing notes of crème brûlée, complemented by a burst of citrus and the distillery's signature nuttiness, with subtle green leafy undertones.

  • Flavour: A smooth and sweet profile featuring hints of tangerine and lime, balanced by sweet barley and toffee nuances.

  • Mouthfeel: Silky and delicate, leading to a gingery, slightly dry finish with a pleasant, lingering nuttiness.

Food Pairings:

Auchentoshan 12 Year Old's versatile flavour profile makes it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes. Its citrus and nutty notes pair wonderfully with seafood, such as smoked salmon or seared scallops, enhancing the natural sweetness of the seafood. The whisky's subtle sweetness and smooth character also complement creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, creating a harmonious balance between the spirit and the creaminess of the cheese. For dessert pairings, consider almond biscotti or a citrus-infused panna cotta, which will echo the whisky's inherent flavours and provide a delightful conclusion to a meal.

Serving and Cocktail Suggestions:

While Auchentoshan 12 Year Old is delightful neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavours, it also serves as an excellent base for whisky cocktails. Its smooth and delicate profile shines in a classic Whisky Sour, where the citrus elements complement the whisky's inherent notes. Alternatively, consider an Auchentoshan and Ale, pairing the whisky with a light ale to enhance its malt character. For a contemporary twist, an Auchentoshan Three Wood Old Fashioned accentuates the whisky's sweet and nutty nuances, providing a sophisticated cocktail experience.
