3. Auchentoshan 12
As all these whiskeys have some significance in their names, that is also the case with Auchentoshan. In Gaelic “Achadh an Oisesin” (do not even try pronouncing this) it means something like the field of the corner . The distillery was founded in just around the year the Excise Act was proclaimed. Nowadays Auchentoshan is one of the last lowland single malts in production. The whisky is triple-distilled, which means it is sweeter, lighter and smoother, which makes it a great choice for the newbies as one of the smoothest single malt scotch for beginners.
