Auchentoshan Aged 11 Years Original Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Cadenhead (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 55.5% Age: 17 Years Old Country: Scotland
The Auchentoshan Distillery was first established in 1823 and is situated on the outskirts of Glasgow in Clydebank. The distillery sits on the Lowlands whisky region of Scotland and boats as being ‘the breakfast whisky’ of the industry. This is due to its sweet and delicate flavours. The word Auchentoshan is taken from the Gaelic word Achadh an Oisein meaning “corner of the field”. The distillery is known for its triple distillation methods which are usually used in Ireland to make whiskey.
Scotch Whisky is known the world-over by the Brand names of large blending companies. These blends are the mixture of the products of various distilleries which were originally independent family owned units. Until the middle of the 20th century there were many small firms that bottled and sold the pure product of the local distilleries. Since Victorian times the firm of William Cadenhead has provided this service. However a diminution of public interest caused the small bottling companies to close down. Only a small handful of distilleries still remain in the ownership of their founding families and even fewer of the bottling companies remain active, William Cadenhead is one of the notable survivors.
Recent revival of interest in the whisky from different single distilleries has caused a surge of new firms to emerge. Many do not actually control their bottling operations and unfortunately feel it necessary to invest fictitious ancestries. However William Cadenhead has a well established pedigree and the experience of over one and a half centuries ensures that our customers can truly rely on what we put in a bottle. They guarantee that they never chill-filter or chemically alter the products that they bottle nor do they add colouring agents. Each of their bottlings of whisky, and indeed of their rums and cognacs, comes from an individually selected cask.
This single malt whisky was distilled at the Auchentoshan distillery before being placed in an ex-Bourbon Barrel and left to mature for no less than 12 years. It was bottled at 46% abv as part of the Cadenhead Original Collection Series.
