Released for Travel Retail, the Auchentoshan Heartwood is a triple-distilled single malt Scotch whisky which has been matured in both oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, resulting in a very well-balanced expression from the Lowland distillery. Nice big litre bottle too!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Fresh honey and candied orange peels, with hints of dark coffee and pear drops.
Nuttier than the nose, it's got a core of hazelnut and almond, surrounded by chocolate buttons, apple and fresh ground coffee again.
Dried fruit and citrus lasts.

Nice smooth whisky, warm & slightly fruity after taste
I like it...I'm not an expert, but it tastes good to me. A nice mellow Whisky imho. ??
I believe some of these 1star reviews are foolhardy at best... This is a genuinely very pleasant whisky, very drinkable and lasting and full of flavour. For somewhere to compare with Famous Grouse...well, it’s like comparing Camembert with Dairylea!! Also, they’re charging £63 in World Duty Free so the price on here is very good indeed!
The nose/aroma is raisins, to me. Tasted quite a bit of that, as well as apricot. When I added an ice cube it improved the finish for me quite a bit. I got it while traveling through Heathrow. I wouldn’t rush to buy another bottle but it makes me curious about trying other Auchentosan whiskies.
Not for idiots who drink single malt with water or soda!
