From the banks of the River Clyde in the heart of Glasgow, Auchentoshan stands apart as one of Scotland’s few Lowland distilleries and the only one dedicated to triple distillation for every drop of whisky. This meticulous process results in an exceptionally smooth, delicate spirit that has earned Auchentoshan the nickname “the breakfast whisky” for its light, approachable character. The Auchentoshan 12 Year Old is the gateway to this refined world, balancing the distillery’s signature softness with rich layers of sweet and nutty complexity born from over a decade in oak.
