Auchentoshan 10-year-old “Lanark 850” Ceramic Decanter / 40%/ 0.75l

In 1990, the Royal Burgh of Lanark, on the River Clyde, celebrated its 850th anniversary.

To mark the occasion, Auchentoshan Distillery has released a special edition of the 10-year-old whisky presented in stylish stoneware jugs. Auchentoshan Distillery was built in 1823 on the outskirts of Glasgow, its buildings nestling between the Kilpatrick Hills and the River Clyde. The distillery has three stills and can produce 2.5 million litres of distillate per year. It is also the only Scottish distillery to use only three-stage distillation. Since 1984, the distillery has been owned by Morrison Bowmore Distillers, now a subsidiary of Beam Suntory.
