Auchentoshan Single Malt Whisky

Founded in 1800, Auchentoshan has changed ownership several times throughout its history and was completely rebuilt in 1969. The distillery was purchased by Morrison Bowmore in 1984, before Suntory acquired full ownership in 1994. Following the 2014 merger of Beam Inc. and Suntory, Auchentoshan now forms part of the Beam Suntory portfolio alongside other Morrison Bowmore distilleries and brands.

Unusual among Scottish distilleries, Auchentoshan practises triple distillation. While most Scotch whisky is distilled twice, Auchentoshan’s use of a third still — the Intermediate Still — produces a final new-make spirit of around 81%, resulting in a lighter, smoother and more delicate style. Combined with the use of unpeated malt, this gives Auchentoshan its characteristic sweet, approachable flavour profile.
