Auchentoshan Three Wood - 70cl, 43% abv

Auchentoshan distillery was established in 1823. Production was slowed and even stopped several times throughout its history, including in 1941 when the warehouse was destroyed during a WW2 bomb raid. At one point, the whisky was even owned my a hospitality company who used it as the official single malt for their chain of hotels and restaurants. One of the only triple distilled whiskies made in Scotland, Auchentoshan is renowned for its incredibly light and delicate spirit.

This bottling is Auchentoshans most sherry cask led whisky in its core range, using a variety of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, as well as a little addition of bourbon casks. The colour alone screams sherry bomb, dark red with an almost wine like quality. The whisky itself is rich and viscous on the palate.
