Auchentoshan Distillery

Auchentoshan Distillery is located in Dalmuir, near Glasgow, in the Scottish Lowlands. Founded in 1823, the distillery has a long and rich history in whisky production. Auchentoshan, which means "corner of the field" in Gaelic, is known for its unique distillation process.

A special feature of Auchentoshan is the use of triple distillation, a rarity in the Scotch whisky industry. This process creates an exceptionally pure and light spirit. The distillery has three stills: a wash still, an intermediate still and a spirit still, which together create a refined and delicate profile.

Auchentoshan whisky matures in a variety of cask types, including American bourbon casks, Spanish sherry casks and French wine casks. These diverse maturation methods contribute to the complex flavour profiles of their whiskies, which are often characterised by notes of citrus, nuts and vanilla. The distillery remains a major player in Lowlands whisky production.
