Youthful Urban Whiskies

Auchentoshan's Refreshed Branding Appeals to Younger Drinkers

The new branding for Auchentoshan is helping to set the product apart from other single-malt whisky products by differentiating it as an "urban city single malt whisky." The refreshed branding for the single-malt Scotch whisky is designed to express the fact that the product hails from Glasgow and boasts an urban heritage.

The design includes a city skyline that aims to catch the eyes of younger drinkers and appeal to them with a more modern, accessible and experiential drinking experience.

While many product packages depict natural landscapes and old buildings, Auchentoshan offers a refreshing new perspective, especially as its copper stills are located right within Glasgow. By defying category stereotypes, Auchentoshan is setting itself apart with a look that's bold and expressive enough to tell its unique story.
