Auchentoshan 5 Year Old & 10 Year Old Bottled 1980s 3 x 5cl

This lot contains three miniature bottles of Auchentoshan Triple Distilled Single Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky. We estimate were bottled in the 1980s:

1 x Auchentoshan 5 Year Old, 5cl, 40% ABV

1 x Auchentoshan 10 Year Old, 5cl, 40% ABV

1 x Auchentoshan 10 Year Old imported to Japan, 5cl, 43% ABV

Since Auchentoshan distillery was built in 1817 (then named Duntocher), it has withstood 13 different owners, bankruptcy, and a bombing raid in World War II. It is the only Scotch distillery to triple-distil all its whisky, and 100% of its output goes into its single malt bottlings.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
