Auchentoshan Scotch 21Yr 750ml - Item Code: 06197
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Auchentoshan Scotch 21Yr 750ml greets the palate with a silky, refined character that makes it perfect for savoring on special occasions or quiet evenings. With an ABV of 43%, this single malt hails from the Lowlands of Scotland and is triple distilled, a signature trait that imparts exceptional smoothness and clarity to its profile. The extended aging process in oak casks allows the whisky to develop remarkable depth while maintaining a gentle, approachable feel.
On tasting, Auchentoshan 21 Year Old reveals layers of honeyed sweetness, toasted almonds, and subtle citrus zest balanced by hints of dried fruit and soft spice. These flavors harmonize beautifully with smoked salmon, as the whisky’s delicate peat and nutty undertones complement the fish’s rich texture. When paired with dark chocolate, its notes of vanilla and orange peel come forward, creating a luxurious contrast that lingers pleasantly on the finish.
Producer Information: Auchentoshan Distillery

Established in 1823, Auchentoshan has a long-standing heritage rooted in Lowland whisky traditions.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
