Auchentoshan Three Wood is a bold, richly flavoured Lowland single malt, standing out in the Auchentoshan range thanks to its sherry-wood finishes. It brings pronounced sweet fruit and dessert-like tones, yet retains enough balance and freshness not to feel cloying. Great for those who appreciate lush sherry influence, toasted oak, and a whisky with depth rather than minimalism.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Distillery: Auchentoshan, located in the Lowlands near Glasgow, Scotland — known for their triple distillation process which typically produces lighter, smoother spirits.
-
Maturation / Cask Profile: First matured in ex-bourbon casks, then finished in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, and finally in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. The “three wood” refers to those three cask types.
-
Strength / ABV: 43% ABV.
Tasting Profile
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Colour / Appearance | Rich golden brown, with deeper tones from the sherry casks. |
| Nose / Aroma | Blackcurrant, brown sugar, orange peel, plum and raisin undertones. Also fruit jam and a mellow sherry sweetness from the oloroso & PX influence. |
| Palate / Taste | Fruit syrup, prunes, raisins, plus roasted hazelnut, butterscotch, with hints of spice such as cinnamon; some oak bitterness balanced by sweetness. |
| Finish | Fresh and fruity, with a long-lasting oaky sweetness; lingering dried fruit, mild spice, and a toffee or chocolate undertone. |
Food & Cocktail Pairings

Cocktails:

Sherry-rich Old Fashioned style (use this instead of plain bourbon/rye for depth)

-
Food Pairings:
-
Desserts: Fruit-based desserts like plum pudding, sticky toffee pudding, spiced fruitcake, or any dessert with dried fruit and sugar & syrup.
