The Whiskey Lab Ferg & Harris Auchentoshan 15 year 700ml

The Whisky Lab Ferg & Harris - Auchentoshan 15 Year is a single-cask Scotch whisky from independent bottler The Whisky Lab, sourced from Auchentoshan, one of the few remaining Lowland distilleries and known for triple-distilling all of its spirit, a step beyond the double distillation most Scotch whisky uses. That extra distillation pass gives Auchentoshan a lighter, smoother, more delicate character than most single malts, with less of the oily weight a twice-distilled Highland or Speyside malt carries. At fifteen years, this release should show that light Lowland style with a bit more oak-driven depth layered on top than Auchentoshan's younger core-range bottlings typically carry. It's a pick for Scotch drinkers who like the Lowland style's approachability with some real age behind it.

How to drink The Whisky Lab Ferg & Harris Auchentoshan 15 Year

Sip it neat to appreciate the smoothness triple distillation gives it — this is one of the gentler single malts you'll find, and it doesn't need water to open up. It also makes a good introduction to Scotch for someone used to smoother spirits like Irish whiskey.
