Deer, Bear & Moose Auchentoshan 1997

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.
