- Description
- Auchentoshan's triple-distilled character shines in this 21-year-old from May 1997, bottled by Hunter Laing at 50% ABV for the Old Malt Cask's 20th anniversary. Two decades of maturation in ex-bourbon casks has developed the Lowland distillery's signature light, delicate profile into something more complex and layered. The extended aging brings subtle orchard fruit, vanilla, and soft oak notes with a creamy mouthfeel. A refined choice for those seeking understated elegance rather than bold intensity.
