The Battlehill range, named for the many sites of battles throughout Scotland, is a popular selection of predominantly young expressions bottled by Duncan Taylor.
Auchentoshan (Gaelic for "the corner of the field") is one of the few remaining lowland distilleries, located at the foot of the Kilpatrick hills, just outside Glasgow. It is also the only distillery in Scotland to triple-distil all of it's whisky. This, combined with the use of only unpeated malt, makes Auchentoshan slightly sweeter and more delicate than most Scotch whiskies.
