Nestled on the outskirts of Glasgow, Auchentoshan is known as Scotland’s “distillery of the Lowlands,” crafting whiskies that are triple distilled for exceptional smoothness. The Auchentoshan Three Wood takes this delicate Lowland spirit and matures it in not one, but three different cask types, American bourbon, Spanish Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez sherry, creating a symphony of flavors that is both rich and approachable. This layered maturation delivers a whisky that bridges the gap between sweetness, spice, and depth, making it a favorite for those who appreciate complexity without heaviness.
