A Lowland single malt matured in 3 different casks, namely: Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, bourbon casks and Oloroso Sherry casks. A distinctive triple distilled whisky from Auchentoshan.
Cooked fruit, sherry, toffee, a rum-like quality and notes of Bas Armagnac distilled circa 1940.
Rich. Liqueur cherries in dark chocolate, more sherried fruit, ripe dark forest fruits, like a Black Forest Gateaux.
Superb, led by thick dark treacle and toffee notes and chewy wooded notes, balanced with a green fruit edge.
Looks tasty, tried the Auchentoshan "Spring Wood" yesterday which is mediocre. Light, Vanilla, Citrus, short finish. Next time I try Auchentoshan i will try this "Three Wood" instead.
Next to Yamazaki this is my favorite whiskey so far!
Aromas of wood-leather-floral-spice with toffee. Palate of butterscotch, nuts, and oak spices. (Not much fruit besides orange) The combination makes this complex and balanced.
Ah, the discovery of a new favourite! A great moment for any whisky drinker and with such variety available you can hope there are plenty more favourites out there to find! We certainly agree on this one too - Auchentoshan Three Wood is one hell of a dram. - The Chaps at Master of Malt
The date: Sunday 24th March, The time: 4.00 pm, a medically dangerous cold wind. Sudddenely a small light, signalling a welcome and an open fire - Monteiths in the Royal Mile. The barman was asked for his recommendation and I ended up drinking ATW for the first time. A glorious drink on its own - sweet, smooth, warm and full of flavour, made the more delicious (and dangerous perhaps) with a small injection of water. This isa seriously delicious drink that I will not only add to my collection, but move it immediately to the number one spot. A great find.
