Auchentoshan Blood Oak 70cl Whisky
Auchentoshan Blood Oak
One of a pair of Travel Retail releases from the Auchentoshan distillery in the Lowlands - Blood Oak is a rather dramatically-named single malt in a combination of bourbon casks and red wine casks.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Juicy and rich with elegant wine notes, joined by a touch of golden barley.
Palate
Some classic red-wine spiciness starts to ramp up on the palate, with a little bit of Christmas-y clove. Citrus sits in the background.
Finish
Spicy and drying on the finish.
Winner of 2 spirit awards
