Distillery History
This Lowland Malt Distillery rests at the foot of the Old Kilpatrick Hills, overlooking Glasgow and the famous River Clyde, once referred to as Scotland’s gateway to the world.

Originally named the Duntocher Distillery it was established on the Dumbartonshire estate of Auchentoshan in 1823 by John Bulloch.

In 1834 the then Bulloch & Co Ltd sold the Duntocher Distillery to John Hart and Alexander Filshie, they renamed the distillery Auchentoshan.

After 40 years in 1875 – James & Alexander Filshie refurbished the distillery and in 1878 sold the distillery to CH Curtis & Co, a Greenock Whisky merchants.

Alexander Ferguson & Co Ltd acquired the distillery in 1900 and three years later sold it on to George & John McLachlan Ltd, whose trading name becomes McLachlans Ltd in 1923

On the13th & 14th of March 1941 the German Luftwaffe bombs the Clydebank area and docks. During the ‘Clydebank blitz’ Warehouse’s 1, 2 & 3 are destroyed along with almost 1 million litres of whisky.

After the war distillation resumes on February 3rd 1948.

McLachlans Ltd is acquired by the brewers J&R Tennent Ltd in 1960 then four years they are themselves acquired by Charingtons, who in 1967 merge to form Bass Charington

Auchentoshan Distillery is acquired by Eadie Cairns Ltd in 1969. They sell the distillery to Stanley P Morrison in 1984 who now trade as Morrison Bowmore Distillers Ltd
 
The distillery has been extensively refurbished since its acquisition by Morrison Bowmore Distillers Ltd and still retains all its traditional production methods including its unique Triple Distillation process.

Auchentoshan Whisky Taste Style

The Auchentoshan Distillery, meaning `Corner of the field’ in Gaelic, produces a delicate, smooth and light Single Malt Whisky. The subtle aroma and flavour of its Spirit is achieved by the unique Triple Distillation method, whereby the spirit is not distilled twice, as elsewhere in Scotland, but instead, distilled three times producing even greater refinement to its character.

Auchentoshan 9 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting notes...
Provenance Range. Single Cask bottling by Douglas Laing.
Distilled in Autumn 2000 and bottled Summer 2010 from one Refill Hogshead DMG Ref : 6291

Distinctly gristy as it opens on the nose plus some citrus and lightly oaked tones.

The palate is initially massively sweet, opening further to barley and nutty flavours -

 all neatly replicated plus more spice on the finish. (J)
