A 3 times distilled whisky from the Lowlands, near Glasgow. The Auchentoshan distillery was opened in 1825 by Irish refugees, which explains the light character of the whisky. Because Auchentoshan distils 3 times, the spirit has a much higher alcohol content than usual; 81%. By triple distillation, the whisky is also purified. This Auchentoshan has been fully matured on bourbon barrels for 18 years and has therefore acquired a beautiful, deep complexity. 43% Vol. |

The oldest distillery on the island of Islay, founded in 1779. Since the start, smoky, daring Whisky has been made here, 30% of which is still made from their own malt floor. Bowmore has Scotland's oldest warehouse, which is partly below sea level. This makes the barrel maturation balanced and gives the Whisky most of its true Islay character. Due to its age, the smoke is quite mild and the Whisky very complex. 43% Vol. |
