Let’s roll out the red carpet.

Established in 1823, Auchentoshan is one the last active distilleries in the Lowlands. It’s an endangered species in more ways than one, since it is also the only Scottish distillery that employs a true full-time third distillation, nowadays associated with mostly Irish Whiskey. The triple distillation gives this Glasgow malt a refined, delicate touch, which contributes to a very diverse spirit, perfect for your calm summer afternoon sip, but also the reason for you to paint the town red. The distillery is hoping to validate their reputation for making the smoothest Whisky possible with their latest number right here.

Auchentoshan Blood Oak was released exclusively through the travel retail market and it put all Whisky aficionados on red alert. This, very expressively named Whisky, is of course triple distilled and non-chill-filtered. Matured in a combination of Bourbon and red wine casks, it is bottled at 46% ABV. The specific cask marriage contributes to an enticing Whisky, with a special spicy twist, provided by the French oak. The red wine casks are also the reason behind the deep ruby gold color, which is the inspiration behind the name. So, let’s just cut through the red tape, because we’re sure, you get it by know – the theme is red and this Whisky is rad.

Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
There is some debate about the origin date for Auchentoshan. the various dates include 1800,1817, and 1823. But most sources use the 1823 date, so we rely on that.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
