Awesome Auchentoshan single malt, matured for a generous 22 years between 1999 and 2022. The whisky was initially filled into refill bourbon barrels, before being transferred to a fresh sherry butt for the final 20 months, imparting a wealth of buttery vanilla, dense fruit, and spice to the malt. Upon opening, the cask yielded a total of 696 bottles, which were independently released by Signatory for its Cask Strength Collection.

Auchentoshan 22 Year Old 1999 (cask 3) - Cask Strength Collection (Signatory) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Vegetal malt bolstered by a good helping of dried, sherried fruits and fresh vanilla pod, with hints of floral citrus poking through.

Palate: Rich cherries followed by warming cinnamon spice and hints of herbal barely. Sweet sultanas and clove-studded oranges begin to make an appearance.

Finish: Drying oak, a touch of maple with sweet caramelised nuts balancing prickles of pepper.

Distillery Information

Auchentoshan is a Scottish distillery known for producing some of the lightest and most delicate whiskies in the world. The Auchentoshan distillery is located in the Lowlands of Scotland, and has been in operation since 1823. Auchentoshan whiskies often have a floral aroma and a sweet flavor profile. Auchentoshan (pronounced ‘OKKen-TOSHan’) is one of the few triple-distilled single malts in Scotland. In May 2008 Auchentoshan 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’. Auchentoshan lies only just within the Lowlands and, although a Lowlander, Auchentoshan’s water source – near the Cochna Loch in the Kilpatrick Hills is in the Highlands. During the Second World War, bombing on the Clydebank shipyards, which lie in close proximity, left the Auchentoshan distillery greatly damaged with a substantial loss of spirit. In 1948, reconstruction began and the distillery was also given the new, modern spelling ‘Auchentoshan’. In 1984, the Auchentoshan distillery was bought by Morrison Bowmore, which itself became a subsidiary of the Japanese company Suntory a decade later. None of the current range is peated, and at the heart lies the 2008 release, ‘Classic’, an eighteen year-old and ‘Three Wood’; matured in Oloroso, Pedro Ximinez Sherry and Bourbon casks.
