    Auchentoshan, meaning `Corner of the field’ in Gaelic, produces a delicate, smooth and light single Malt Whisky. The subtle aroma and flavour of its Spirit is achieved by the unique Triple Distillation process, whereby the spirit is not distilled twice, as elsewhere in Scotland, but instead, distilled three times producing even greater refinement to its character.

    This is definitly another one for the sherried whisky fans. It's got some lovely oak. It's not entirely too complex, but has some nice structure. There's a lovely honey note.
