From the Auchentoshan distillery in the Scottish Lowlands comes a triple distilled single malt Scotch whisky aged entirely in first fill American oak casks. A light, bright whisky with plenty of vanilla sweetness at its centre - great as an aperitif dram.
Nose: Oranges and lemons, toffee chunks and milk chocolate. Wafts of grassy air and clotted cream.
Palate: Bounty bars, more citrus peels and peaches. A little bit buttery, with golden barley and oak spice developing on the mid palate.
Finish: Lasting notes of grapefruit and toffee pennies.

Subtle flavours which are easily washed out. Mostly sweet & smooth but the finish easily overpowers. Takes effort to appreciate.

I received this ad a present at Christmas. I am not normally a malt whisky drinker but I found it a superb whisky and one I would definitely buy.
10th February 2018
I am not a whisky drinker normally, but this is so smooth and mellow, I am a convert.

One day I like it, the next I do not. This is a very straight ahead whisky, without a lot of finese. Drink it if you like basic single malts in simple oak

Utterly waste of time. Bitter bitter sour empty harsh . Dread taking another sip just oak . Better to chew a brick . Non inviting . Avoid at all cost

OK, so for the money, I have to give this three stars. Clearly the age statement was left off for a reason, but the American Oak expression is not without is merits. OK, so there is indeed an unusual thing in the finish that is kind of green banana, grapefruit thing, but it is almost overwhelmed by the edge of youth on the palate. So as a day to day drinker, I would put it on the middle shelf, which in our home means guests can help themselves... just stay out of the top shelf.

Excellent single Malt with nice lingering finish.

I am a self confessed Islay malt and smoky, peaty fanboy. This is a delightful sweet and smooth lowland malt. Slightly toffee and oaky. A decent price too,
Very pleasant drink.

Doesn't compare to the 12 year old version. Buy we year old, don't waste your time.

Really weird banana-ish taste at the start, but honestly pretty pleasant given the price point. Nice warm spicy finish. I've had far worse single malts for £20, that's for sure!
18th May 2017
The naysayers are insane. Smooth buttery vanilla followed by the longest post-sip finish in any single malt EVER. Grapefruit, mandarin orange, pepper, banana, WOW.A huge nuanced whisky. Absolutely amazing.And the price......
30th April 2017
Easy drinking sweet with light spice finish. Recommended.
23rd April 2017
Picked up a bottle for £20, regularly available at this price from supermarkets. Harsh, unpleasant and, as someone else has pointed out, a weird unripe banana taste to it. Obviously I'll soldier my way through the bottle, but I won't have much fun doing so. Better paying a few quid more for something you can trust.
21st April 2017
I can see why some people look down their nose at this. I however think it's pleasant. Buy it at the right price and it's spot on for a midweek tipple. It wasn't too harsh I got a bit of honey and toffee, and I went and got another glass so it can't be too bad
13th March 2017
A nice mellow scotch with a peppery citrus start which turns to buttery popcorn and vanilla. I'm no expert but this teminds me of an Irish whiskey. A good lowland scotch for a newb or someone like myself who prefers a smooth less chewy, peaty flavor. This would make a nice aperitif or dessert offering. Quality for a reasonable price point.
8th February 2017
Bought discounted for £20 and beats the pants off anything else at that price point. A little rough around the edges for sure, but pleasantly fiery and astringent with an initial taste of slightly-under-ripe banana followed by some caramel, toffee and vanilla. Drink it as-is; adding water makes the banana flavour unpleasantly green, it doesn't play well with mixers. This type of younger, sweeter, more Bourbon -like Scotch seems to be the coming thing, and there's plenty of choice; this one's a good one. At normal price there are better buys but if you see it cheaper, worth a go.
2nd February 2017
This isn't a bad single malt for the price, but the 12y/o is much better and doesn't cost much more. Triple distillation can't hide the youth of this one, and the combined astringency of the first-fill oak makes this Scotch just a bit too harsh for my liking. An interesting experiment despite its intrinsic rough edges.
5th January 2017
I had so much floral honey in my mouth it's like choking as soon as it gets past your lips. Definitely not like most other Scotch or Irish so it gets an 2/5 instead of 1/5. Hoping it makes good mixed drinks because of the citrus/floral/honey but straight or with a drop of water it wasnt good.
20th December 2016
The main difference between Irish and Scotch whisky is that Irish whiskey is triple distilled while Scotch is distilled twice. This Scotch breaks that rule and triple distills it making it taste more like an Irish whiskey than a Scotch whisky, but still holding Scotch characteristics. It's good for what it is as well as the price. A good compromise between Scotch and Irish whiskey, but a representation of neither.

Went to Scotland for our honeymoon, did a whisky tasting and hated them all but loved this one. Very easy to drink, smooth and a little sweet vanilla with a slight oakiness. Perfect starter whisky for people who think they don't like whisky.
17th November 2016
Not good. My bar ran out of 16 year old Glenlivet and offered this for a buck less. Left half of it in the glass. Wouldn't drink it again.
12th November 2016
Its not too bad. Its harmless. Lacks real punch and depth, but its a nice enough, easy drinker
11th September 2016
I came across this one in Tesco for £20.Got it home and was very pleased , especially for the bargain bin price. Remember this is a NAS single malt. For £20!!!I always pick up 2 or 3 bottles whenever it's on offer.Don't be a prude. Give this whisky a chance.It's very smooth and has just a touch of sweetness. Lovely.@TheMrParkinson

This surely is the most pathetic excuse for single malt whisky I would rather drink Buckfast.
3rd August 2016
I think because of the distellery's name there is higher expectations. However, for the price it isn't a bad whisky. I think this is a good whisky to introduce some non-whisky drinkers to just to give them an idea of what is out there
28th July 2016
This whiskey can only be drank with ice. One cube's enough. Really does taste like a young whiskey. I wouldn't buy this again and if I could return it I would.
15th July 2016
So I have tried the 12 year and three wood and just wasn't impressed by either they tasted like caramel coloring and the spirit used just didn't seem up to par with other distilleries but I got this as a gift and I'm not one to complain about free whisky but was actually pleasantly surprised by this.It's my favorite thing I've had from this distillery for sure nice light vanilla/honey flavor with a hint of red apples and some citrus and a finish similar to a good smooth bourbon.Not bad at all and better than anything else I've had from Auchentoshan for sure also pretty reasonably priced.Buy this instead of three wood and save your money.The Sugarbear
10th May 2016
It's quite a smooth whiskey actually. Lovely stuff. Went down well. Don't see why previous people slag it off. Not bad at all for £20.
7th April 2016
This tastes way too much like bourbon, starts kinda sweet then halfway through you can taste the youth, starts tasting like a blended scotch. Wish I could get my money back, that bad.
30th March 2016
Really love it it's a lovely smooth whiskey just with ice only
25th March 2016
Absolutely terrible malt I am a massive fan of talisker laphroig glenlivet to mention a few and if they can pass this off as a single malt I am George Clooney what a disgrace there is seriously bad after taste which turned my stomach I wouldn't pay 2 quid for this never mind 20.
23rd March 2016
This is a great buy for someone looking to purchase their first Scotch. It is very easy on the palate. As someone a little more experienced, I would buy this again. It is an easy pour after a long day.
22nd February 2016
You can taste the youth in this whisky, triple distilled or not. It's got a lot of young spirits in the bottle and it comes off tasting like an unsweetened bourbon. Better to spend a little more on the Three Wood if you're loyal to the brand, or anything in the group with ages on the bottle.
2nd February 2016
My cousin told me to get as a must, didn't disappoint! Goes down very easy, which can be a bad thing.....hangover! Really enjoyed, will buying more of the stuff!
22nd January 2016
From Cali. Never saw the brand before. Looking for Glenfiddich, found, but way more expensive than at home. Asked for the clerk to advise, he suggested this. On a lark, I bought it: Novel, more moderate price. Why not? Suspiciously too delicious, too easy to drink. Tastes too good. I feel like I felt when they started to ruin beer with fruit flavors, then I tasted, and loved them. Seriously, a guilty pleasure. Who can resist candy scotch? Shamed to say, not me. Orange, coconut, butterscotch in a bottle. Love it!
21st January 2016
what a synergy of bold oak veteran bourbon barrels....and triple-distilled delicate lowland hush.....what else can you say....slow down, let the pour sit...open the bottle and let it sit, too....let oxygen, your palate and patience do the rest. enjoy

Having recently tried Jamesons Select Reserve and seen this on discount, I had high hopes for my first foray into triple distilled lowland Scotch. However I was left fairly underwhelmed with this one.It definitely has that triple distilled vibe going for it - clean & crisp with that buttery finish - but I can sense very little cask influence.A glass of this had me drifting off, hankering for something with a bit more character or maturity.Being a Glasgow lad, I will persevere and try the Auchentoshan 10yr old next time round but probably won't get another bottle of this.In a word: meh
25th October 2015
Because it's triple distilled, this is a very clean tasting smooth drinkable whisky, and at just over £30 you don't have to feel too guilty when you sneak a dram into your cup of tea, yum :) No other whiskys I have tried around this price point come close. Not bad at all...
11th October 2015
I was quite disappointed with this whisky with its citrus tones and lack of depth it was a little fussy for my taste.
14th August 2015
Maybe it's not the most complex of scotches out there, but for a nice enjoyable dram to share with friends at a great price, this is well worth it.
17th April 2015
For the price it really nice. Fruity. Not long aftertaste. But very soft for a drinking.
