Auchentoshan American Oak Single Malt

Clydebank, Scotland

43% ABV

 

Auchentoshan triple distills which creates a light, easy drinking whisky.  Because the distillate is a higher proof and has less cereal flavors, the wood becomes the star of the show.  In this case, it’s a blend of ex-bourbon, ex-PX, and ex-oloroso casks.  That combination creates a whisky robust in toffee, overripe cherries, and dark chocolate notes.  This whisky makes an excellent bridge to the world of scotches for a bourbon drinker.
