Auchnagie Vintage is a blended malt Scotch whisky from The Lost Distillery Company, created to recapture the style of Auchnagie, a small farm distillery near Ballinluig in Perthshire that was dismantled in 1912. It is bottled at 46% ABV.
Auchnagie was founded by farmer James Duff and passed through several owners before John Dewar & Sons acquired it and dismantled it in 1912. The Lost Distillery Company studies silent distilleries like this one, researching their barley, water, stills and casks, and then blends malt whiskies to bring their character back to life. The Vintage range uses older whiskies and is bottled at the higher strength of 46%.
The Lost Distillery Company's Auchnagie whiskies are velvety and mouth-coating, with orchard fruit such as cider apples, dry oak, a hint of soot and orange oil, and fresh herbal notes.
The dark bottle with its pale label and archival typography is a quiet tribute to a distillery that has been gone for more than a century, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in Scotch whisky history.
Pour a dram and taste a style of Highland Perthshire whisky that would otherwise have been lost. Each Lost Distillery release tells the story of its distillery on the label, so the bottle is as much a piece of history as a whisky.
