- Description
- Bottled in the 1980s for the Italian market, this 18-year-old Auchentoshan in its distinctive rectangular bottle represents a more mature expression of the distillery's elegant house style. Age brings deeper stone fruits, honey, and subtle oak spice to the characteristically light Lowland spirit. A nostalgic bottling from an era when Auchentoshan held strong appeal in continental Europe.
