- Description
- Bottled in the 1980s at a youthful five years old, this Lowland single malt captures Auchentoshan's signature light, fruity character before extended oak influence takes hold. The nose shows fresh green apple, lemon peel, and delicate floral notes, while the palate is clean and grassy with subtle sweetness. A glimpse into the style that made young Auchentoshan popular across Southern Europe during this era.
