The Auchentoshan Distillery was first established in 1823 and is situated on the outskirts of Glasgow in Clydebank. The distillery sits on the Lowlands whisky region of Scotland and boats as being ‘the breakfast whisky’ of the industry. This is due to its sweet and delicate flavours. The word Auchentoshan is taken from the Gaelic word Achadh an Oisein meaning “corner of the field”. The distillery is known for its triple distillation methods which are usually used in Ireland to make whiskey.
Càrn Mòr is an independent bottling label produced by the family owned and operated Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers. Morrisons own the Aberargie distillery in Perth, Scotland which is now 3 years old (January 2021). The company was originally started by an ex employee of the independent bottling company Scottish Liqueur Centre when in 2008 he gathered a group of whisky enthusiasts and began bottling and selling whisky. The Gaelic name Càrn Mòr is given to the ninth highest mountain in Scotland which sits on the Northwest Highlands. The English translation is Great Peak.
Released as part of the Celebration of the Cask range this Auchentoshan was distilled in October 1992 and sat maturing in one ex-bourbon Hogshead barrel for 27 years. It was bottled by Càrn Mòr in January 2020 with only 235 bottles being produced at an abv of 48.4%.
