Auchentoshan Three Wood

Wine information: Founded in 1823, Auchentoshan is Glasgow’s closest distillery producing Lowland Single Malt. Pronounced Ock’un’tosh’un’, meaning ‘Corner of the field’ in gaelic. Auchentoshan is a Lowland Single Malt - it is one of only three remaining distilleries in the Scottish Lowlands along with Bladnoch and Glenkinchie. Unusually for a Scottish distillery, Auchentoshan practices triple distillation. This unique Auchentoshan Lowland Single Malt Whisky has been matured in three different cask types. Moving from American Bourbon to Spanish Oloroso Sherry - and finally Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks - Three Wood is a rich, complex whisky with incredible toffee and sherry oak flavours. The Auchentoshan Three Wood has a rich, golden bronze colour. On the nose there are blackcurrant, brown sugar, orange, plum and raisin notes. The palate has flavours of ruit and syrup. Hazelnut with hints of cinnamon and lemon. A butterscotch sweetness adds to the overall complexity. The finish is fresh and fruity, with long lasting oaky sweetness.
