Auchentoshan 1996 Old Particular 23 Year Old - The Halloween Edition

Auchentoshan 1996 Old Particular 23 Year Old – The Halloween Edition is an exceptionally rare and collectible Lowland single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by renowned Glasgow-based bottler Douglas Laing & Co. as part of its prestigious Old Particular range. Distilled on 31st October 1996 – Halloween itself – and bottled in September 2020 after 23 years of maturation, this distinctive release is limited to just 139 bottles worldwide.

Matured for 23 years in a single refill hogshead, this remarkable Auchentoshan showcases the elegant, refined character of mature Lowland whisky. The extended maturation allows the spirit's delicate sweetness and subtle oak influence to develop naturally, creating a beautifully balanced expression with the depth and complexity associated with long-aged single cask Scotch.

Bottled at a natural cask strength of 48.5% ABV, without chill filtration or artificial colouring, this release preserves the whisky's authentic character. Its striking Halloween-themed presentation and special wooden gift box further enhance its appeal, making it an impressive collector's piece as well as an exceptionally scarce single malt.

With its remarkable Halloween distillation date, substantial age and extraordinarily limited outturn, Auchentoshan 1996 Old Particular Halloween Edition represents a fascinating combination of rarity, provenance and independent bottling craftsmanship.
