Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / The Lowlands
An LMDW exclusive
Founded in 1823, the Auchentoshan distillery is equipped with three stills, 1 wash still (17,500 litres), 1 intermediate still (8,200 litres) and 1 spirit still (11,500 litres). At the end of the third distillation, the new make spirit leaves the still at 82%. Very different from the Auchentoshan Artist from our 2020 Creation Catalogue, which was also distilled in 2000, this version chosen unanimously by the team at 20 Rue d’Anjou boasts all the mysteries that have built the renown of this single malt. For its aromas, which have numerous great qualities, it draws on steadfast minerality to better highlight the quality and diversity of its fruity and floral registers. Its flavours, which reveal resplendent maturity, continually become more complex and concentrated, as on the finish which visits every last drop of every note found in the tasting.
