This extra step during distillation no other major distillery uses an intermediate still is both time-consuming and expensive, but it produces a 160-proof Whisky that is incredibly pure and free of impurities.After the third distillation, the Auchentoshan 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky expression is brought down to barrel proof before being matured for a minimum of 12 years, mostly in ex-bourbon barrels and a small portion of sherry casks.
