- Description
- Bottled as Glentoshan in the 1970s, this no-age-statement Auchentoshan was triple distilled and matured in sherry casks, likely spending less than a decade in wood. Sherry influence brings dried fruit, toffee, and warm spice to the typically delicate Lowland base. A curio from the era before standardized age statements, offering insight into how Auchentoshan built its continental reputation.
