Description
Auchentoshan 12 Year Old from the 1980s comes from a period when the distillery still had a very traditional presentation and a style that many whisky drinkers now look back on with interest. As a triple distilled Lowland whisky it was always known for a lighter, more refined character, and here that shows in a calm, elegant way rather than in something simple. The spirit feels gentle but not thin, with soft sweetness, light fruit tones and measured oak, giving a relaxed, composed drinking experience. Part of the appeal lies in the era as much as in the flavour: this is a chance to taste Auchentoshan as it was several decades ago, with an unmistakable sense of time and authenticity.
