There’s more distillation in the Lowlands than any other Scottish region, but its days as a significant single malt player are consigned to history. This is the home of the blend, and of the large quantities of grain whisky which form its foundation – but a few producers keep up the trademark light and grassy Lowland malt style. 4 All spirits are sold in measures of 25ml or multiples thereof. All prices listed are for a large measure of 50ml. Should you require a 25ml measure, please ask. All whiskies are subject to availability. AILSA BAY (ALE-sah Bay) Ailsa Bay was built within Girvan grain distillery in 2007 to produce malt whisky for William Grant's range of blends. The first single malt, a heavily peated no-age-statement release, was launched in February 2016, after eight years of operation. 1154 Ailsa Bay 48.9% £17.55 Creamy with sherried fruit, a touch of honey and spice on the nose. A sweet, malty, marmalade-like taste with a mellow malty and citrusy finish. AUCHENTOSHAN (OCHun–TOShun) Founded by Irish refugees in 1825 on the outskirts of Glasgow, Auchentoshan is one of the last active distilleries in the Lowlands. In common with other Lowland (and Irish) whiskies, Auchentoshan malt whisky is distilled three times (as opposed to most Scottish malt whisky, which is distilled twice). This triple-distillation has the effect of softening the flavour and body of the end product. 3259 Auchentoshan American Oak 40% £12.15 Auchentoshan American Oak was introduced in 2014 to replace the Classic. Matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks, this is a vanilla- rich and fruity whisky. 622 Auchentoshan 12yr 40% £14.80 Cereals and exotic fruits on the nose with sherried tannins, a little sweet barley and vanilla in the mouth. Dry and very long finish, with a little sweetness from the barley. 625 Auchentoshan Three Wood 43% £15.55 The ever-popular Auchentoshan 3 Wood is matured initially in bourbon casks before being finished in Oloroso then Pedro Ximénez casks for an extra layer of rich, sweet fruitiness. 1198 Auchentoshan 18yr (New Style) 43% £23.40 Rife with toasty oak and vanilla spice. Chocolate cake and a lovely grassiness. Toasty vanilla, dark nuttiness on the palate, with a malty finish, little custard and fresh flowers. 623 Auchentoshan 18yr 1980’s 43% £88.90 An old rectangular bottling of triple distilled Auchentoshan 18 year old, bottled at 43% for the French market. We estimate this bottle dates from the 1980s. 624 Auchentoshan 1965 31yr Cask 2510 45.5% £255.15 An old 1990s single cask bottling of cask strength Auchentoshan 1965, bottled at 31 years old. Lowland whiskies at this age are fairly rare and take on complexity, but keeping their lighter style, making an elegant malt. BLADNOCH (Mothballed) (BLADnoch) Scotland's most southerly working distillery has an echoing connection with Northern Ireland. Built in 1817, the distillery as sold in 1911 by the founding McLelland family to the Belfast based whisky merchant Dunville & Co., who made their own whiskey in Ireland but were in need of stocks of Scotch to fulfil customer demand. Sadly, in March 2014, the Northern Irish company that owned Bladnoch went into liquidation, and the distillery remains closed until further notice. However, it is hoped that a buyer will be found. A distillery with a troubled past that – at the moment, at least – faces an uncertain future. 662 Bladnoch 19yr 54.5% £27.90 Dry earthy dark chocolate notes balance wonderfully with the citric nose of this pale golden dram. 5 All spirits are sold in measures of 25ml or multiples thereof. All prices listed are for a large measure of 50ml. Should you require a 25ml measure, please ask. All whiskies are subject to availability. GLENKINCHIE (glen KINsee) Founded in 1825 in the outlying farmland around Edinburgh as Milton distillery (before being renamed in 1837), Glenkinchie languished in obscurity for over 150 years before becoming an international brand almost overnight at the end of the 1980s. Prior to this time, the distillery's main claims to fame were as one of the five original Lowland distillers to found Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd (later DCL, later UDV aka Diageo); and as one of very few distilleries to continue production throughout the Second World War. 833 Glenkinchie 12yr 43% £13.70 The nose is quite light, yet fragrant, fresh cereal and grist, some barley sweetness and a nutty note. The palate is very fruity with notes of Madeira and sweet stewed fruits. A hint of calvados and tannic oak lining the mouth. The finish is of medium length with notes of cereal and a fresh greenness. 834 Glenkinchie 2003 Distillers Edition 43% £18.25 This 2003 vintage Distillers Edition from Glenkinchie has been finished in Amontillado sherry casks for an extra burst of rounded flavour. This was aged for more than a decade before being bottled in 2015. 1126 Glenkinchie 20yr 58.4% £47.40 A rare & unusual bottling, this Glenkinchie is a muscular 58.4% & has had 10 years in refill casks & then another 10 in brandy casks. A beautiful whisky & near impossible to find. INVERLEVEN (In-ver-LE-ven) Inverleven was part of the gigantic distilling complex built in Dumbarton in 1938 by the famous Canadian distillery company Hiram Walker, makers of Canadian Club, to provide filling for their newly-acquired Ballantine's blend. Hiram Walker's had also bought Miltonduff and Glenburgie for the same purpose, and later acquired Scapa. During their operating lifetimes all the production at Dumbarton, Lomond and Inverleven went into Ballantine's and there were never any official bottlings of either of the single malts. However, enterprising independent bottlers have released a handful of bottlings of Inverleven, which has been described by Michael Jackson's Malt Whisky Companion as "Perfumy, fruity, oily.
