Description
Auchentoshan 12 Year Old Battlehill (Duncan Taylor) 70cl 46% is an independent bottling of Lowland single malt Scotch whisky released by Duncan Taylor as part of the Battlehill range. Distilled at the Auchentoshan Distillery and matured for twelve years, this whisky showcases the elegant and approachable style typical of Lowland single malts.
Auchentoshan is well known for its triple distillation process, which produces a lighter and smoother spirit compared to most Scotch whiskies. After twelve years of maturation in oak casks, the whisky develops balanced notes of citrus, vanilla, malt sweetness, and gentle oak spice.
Bottled at 46% ABV, this independent release offers a richer and more characterful expression of Auchentoshan while preserving the distillery’s signature smoothness.
