Elegant nose of dried figs and raisins braided with warm spice and rich oak. Oloroso sherry sweetness threads through citrus zest, with almond and vanilla lending subtle richness. A poised Lowland brightness surfaces, hinting at depth and quiet warmth from long maturation.

Auchentoshan
(OCH-en-TOSH-an) Auchentoshan was officially established in 1823, with earlier roots at Duntocher on the western edge of Glasgow. It became one of the few surviving Lowland malt distilleries in the late 20th century, passing through several owners before Eadie Cairns rebuilt the site after acquiring it in 1969. Stanley P. Morrison bought Auchentoshan in 1984, and Suntory acquired Morrison Bowmore in 1994.
