A whiff of delicate fragrance. The slight promise of a heavenly taste in the wind. Just enough to set Deer, Bear & Moose on a wild hunt for what proves to be yet another exceptional addition to our collection.
 
In their crosshairs: this remarkable 20 year old Lowland Whisky. And the big, bold secret hiding under Auchentoshan’s kilt? Triple distillation. It’s their claim to fame. It also helped keep their heads above water when other Lowland distilleries were dropping like flies. Because Auchentoshan is a survivor. And we respect that.
 
Triple-D is what makes Auchentoshan as smooth as any Irish Whiskey, yet, it remains a purebred Scotch—a magnificent find embodying the best of both worlds. Now, triple distilled spirits tend to be somewhat bland. But with 20 years in a barrel, this one’s got enough character to blow the pants off of any true Whisky fan. 
 
Bottled at natural cask strength, this dram is non-chill filtered and features no-added coloring. Which makes it just imperfect enough to be… perfect.
 
What’s that we hear? A growl of approval from our wild trio? Well, It’s either that or a mating call… as we haven’t seen them this drunk in love in ages.

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.
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.
Auchentoshan uses three-part distillation process that is pretty rare in the world of Scotch Whiskies. Also, each still is a little different, so they have three stills -- an odd number of stills is rare too.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
