Frequently Asked Questions

Break it down and say it with us: "OCH-UN-TOSH-UN".

We make Lowland single malt Scotch whisky and every drop of it is triple distilled.

Let’s just say we are very happy with the smooth and drinkable whisky we create at the Auchentoshan distillery.

From the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow, we send bottles of Auchentoshan to bars and spirit shops around the world. If you want to find out how to buy our whisky, just get in touch.

Whisky is aged in casks. Depending on the type of cask used, the spirit takes on a golden, amber or yellow hue. The contact with barrels adds elements of colour and affects the final taste of the whisky.

Auchentoshan is distilled close to the city of Glasgow. We have a strong sense of place and purpose as a triple distilled Lowland single malt Scotch whisky.

We certainly do. Take a look at our 'Visit us' page to book a tour or experience with us.

Whisky is the word used in Scotland, while whiskey is used in Ireland and America. The origins of this lie in the slightly different versions of the word between Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelic.
