Auchentoshan is a Single Malt whisky distillery in the west of Scotland. The name Auchentoshan is from Gaelic and translates as 'corner of the field'. Auchentoshan is located at the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills on the outskirts of Clydebank in West Dunbartonshire near the Erskine Bridge. It is one of six malt whisky distilleries in the Scottish Lowlands and its commonly known as 'Glasgow's Malt Whisky' due to its close proximity to Glasgow.
Legal whisky-making started here on the banks of the Clyde in 1817 when the Duntocher distillery was built by John Bulloch. His grandson Archibald Bulloch later founded one of the country’s most important blending companies, Bulloch Charging. Auchentoshan was partially destroyed during World War II by German bomber attacks. The burnt whisky stocks ran into the river Clyde. Today's the distillery pond is a former bomb crater.
It was not until 1948 that the distillery was rebuilt. In 1974, the distillery was modernized and Auchentoshan was overhauled for the last time in 1984 when Stanley P. Morrison bought the distillery. Auchentoshan was part of Morrison Bowmore Distillers Ltd until 1994 when it was sold to the Japanese company Suntory. Since 2017, the Morrison family has returned to the whisky production to Glasgow with its new project of the Clydeside Distillery. Auchentoshan today is the last of 20 distilleries that previously produced whisky in and around Glasgow.
