What's in a name? Auchentoshan Three Wood whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Auchentoshan Three Wood whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Cooked fruit, sherry, toffee, a rum-like quality and notes of Bas Armagnac distilled circa 1940. Palate: Rich. Liqueur cherries in dark chocolate, more sherried fruit, ripe dark forest fruits, like a Black Forest Gateaux. Finish: Superb, led by thick dark treacle and toffee notes and chewy wooded notes, balanced with a green fruit edge. ...more

You can almost eat it!
Beautiful dram. Imagine lacing your mum's best sticky toffee pudding with custard and sherry then putting it in a glass. Absolutely delicious - a great alternative to a desert, with I'm sure less calories.

"notes of Bas Armagnac distilled circa 1940." ?? Somebody was allowed to get carried away.

The nose is sweet and warm, like most Auchentoshans in my opinion, with raisins, dades and a lot of sherry. After leaving it in the glass to settle down for a minute or two, I also sensed orange peel, toffee, a pinch of tobacco and even brown sugar. This is a very interesting nose, with lots going on at the same time. Eye opener. The first sip is somewhat syrupy, but in a positive sense. The soft sherry notes come out first – very much in the foreground – but are soon accompanied by almonds and dark fruits. Lovely. The finish is very, very long, fresh and fruity, but a bit dry at the death. Even a little bit bourbon-like, which surprised me somewhat. I recommend smelling your empty glass again after a minute or two. Nice! Mark Dermul - A Toshan Man!
