The urban malt born in the city of Glasgow, Auchentoshan, pronounced ‘OK-Ken-TO-Shan’, can be spotted on South African shelves debuting a new look with no compromise on the much-loved smooth triple distilled taste.
The striking new packaging has been introduced to appeal even more to its trendsetting drinkers and to inspire the sharing and mixing that Auchentoshan is already known for.
The city skyline backdrop sets the bottle apart from the category with its bold design, focusing on the urban heritage of the whisky and highlighting its succinct and clear tasting notes. Each design cue has been meticulously considered to reinforce Auchentoshan’s unique proposition, with the packaging capturing how proud Auchentoshan is to be born and raised in the city.
Triple distilled and matured solely in American bourbon casks, the smooth and delicate American Oak offers South Africans a refreshing drinking experience to the traditional single malt. With sweet notes of vanilla and caramelized sugar, and a tiny bit of spiciness, Auchentoshan is a perfect easy-drinking Scotch for new and seasoned whisky fans alike.
Auchentoshan pays homage to the distillery’s Glaswegian city roots and is both inspired and shaped by its urban origin, with the whisky distilled into the hearts and minds of city dwellers across the world.
Auchentoshan American Oak is available in major retailers nationwide at a recommended retail price of R349. A limited edition Festive Pack will be available online and in-store at the same great price this holiday season consisting of 750ml bottle of American Oak and the signature orange mug especially for trying out the popular ‘Auch and Ale’ serve.
