From the Wikipedia article
Auchentoshan distillery ( OH-khən-TOSH-ən) is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Dalmuir, Scotland. The name Auchentoshan is from Gaelic Achadh an Oisein (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈaxəɣ ən̪ ˈɔʃɛɲ]) and translates as "corner field". The distillery is also known as "Glasgow's Malt Whisky" due to its proximity to Glasgow and "the breakfast whisky" due to its sweet and delicate nature. Auchentoshan is located at the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills on the outskirts of Clydebank in West Dunbartonshire near the Erskine Bridge. As of 2025 it is one of twenty-three malt whisky distilleries in the Scottish Lowlands.
