AUCHENTOSHAN LAUNCHES NEW SAUVIGNON BLANC FINISHED EXPRESSION

Beam Suntory, has today announced the launch of a new special edition expression, from its Auchentoshan single malt Scotch whisky brand.

Auchentoshan Sauvignon Blanc (47% ABV) has been matured ex-bourbon barrels, before being finished in Sauvignon Blanc Barrique casks.

This latest release from Lowlands based distillery, is said to be the combination of two worlds – the smooth triple distilled taste of Auchentoshan and the unique flavour of Sauvignon blanc casks.

Commenting on the launch, Ron Welsh, Master Blender for Auchentoshan, said: “We set out to create a never-seen-before whisky on the market. Auchentoshan Sauvignon Blanc was crafted to be enjoyed chilled, allowing us to innovate on the key occasions when the product is shared.”

Last month, Auchentoshan announced a packaging refresh for its Scotch whiskies, to not only encourage younger drinkers to share, mix and enjoy the brand, but to also appeal to "urban consumers" and "city dwellers" who might not have experienced it before.

Auchentoshan Sauvignon Blanc, will be available exclusively from Amazon later this month, for a RRP of £50.00.
