Lot number: 109-03449
Winning bid: £250
As well as being a notoriously challenging tongue twister for American whisky aficionados, Auchentoshan distillery is noteworthy for being one of the few buildings not damaged during the Clydebank Blitz of 1941. Unfortunately one of its warehouses wasn't so lucky, and the picturesque pond just outside the distillery is actually a bomb crater.
It remains the only distillery in Scotland doing 100% triple distillation and one of the very few where all the production is bottled as single malt.
Distilled: 1978
Age: 30 Years Old
Cask Type: Bourbon
53.4% ABV / 70cl
Please examine all images of the lot, any packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.
