Triple distilled for extra refinement and aged nearly two decades, it’s a dram that whispers instead of shouts, and rewards those who know how to listen.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Elegant and clean. Fresh-cut grass, toasted almonds, and green apple are wrapped in soft vanilla and a gentle oak warmth, like spring air in an old orchard.
Palate: Silky and mellow. Layers of honeyed barley, lemon zest, toasted coconut, and delicate wood spice build into a soft crescendo. The triple distillation brings remarkable clarity, smooth, light, and exquisitely structured.
Finish: Long and graceful. A wave of dry oak, citrus peel, and soft malt rolls out slowly, leaving a clean and polished impression.

Production Details:
Matured for 18 years in ex-bourbon American oak casks and triple distilled, a signature of Auchentoshan’s Lowland style. Bottled at 43% ABV with natural smoothness and no harsh edges, making it one of the most refined age statements in its class.

Perfect For:
Quiet moments of reflection, sophisticated dinners, or gifting to someone with a palate for elegance over power. This is whisky that wears a suit, not a leather jacket.

Expert Notes:
Often praised as one of the most approachable 18-year-olds on the market, this expression delivers clarity, balance, and soft complexity, a must-try for fans of refined, lighter single malts.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ "Subtle, smooth, and utterly classy. A masterclass in balance."

Interesting Fact:
Auchentoshan is one of the only Scottish distilleries to triple distill every drop, a process more common in Irish whiskey. This extra step lightens the spirit and enhances its silky, citrusy signature.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat in a tulip glass to savor its light floral and nutty aromas. A few drops of water will soften the oak further and bring out layers of citrus and malt. Pair with roasted chicken, aged Gruyère, or lemon tart for a subtle, satisfying harmony.

Distillery Background:
Located just outside Glasgow, Auchentoshan (pronounced “OCK-en-tosh-an”) has been crafting triple-distilled whisky since 1823. Known as “the breakfast whisky” for its smooth, delicate profile, it offers a unique Lowland take that’s as timeless as it is distinctive and the 18 Year Old stands as a pinnacle of that philosophy.
