On the nose anticipate hard candy giving way to more of a vanilla’dbarley character. The palate is really thick and creamy and rich with toasted oak, candied nuts and ripe green fruits. The finish lingers long and deliciously with pineapple chunks, golden syrup and a creamy porridge style.
Auchentoshan Distillery
One of the few triple-distilled single malts in Scotland, in May of 2008, Auchentoshan (pronounced ‘OKKen-TOSHan’) went through a revamp; bottle labels were altered, the range was changed and the visitor centre was renovated. The origins of the distillery are quite shrouded, it originally started life under the name ‘Duntocher’, which was first mentioned around the turn of the nineteenth century. In 1834, it was renamed Auchintoshan, taking from the Gaelic ‘achad oisnin’ or ‘corner of the field’.
