Auchentoshan reviews

This was one of the first ever bottlings of Auchentoshan since the takeover by Stanley P. Morrison in 1984. It was released that year (so it is still a distillate from the Eadie Cairns era). The cream…

The modern Auchentoshan 21 Year Old is een top whisky, but on my birthday I gladly put that one head to head with this older version, from 1973 (thus bottled in 1994). Today I will try it again. Not a…

This is the type of bottle that you only take out of your cabinet for special occasions. It is a limited edition of an Auchentoshan 30 Year Old, distilled in 1976. Only 600 decanters (you can hardly call…
