Facts

Auchentoshan is the only distillery in Scotland to triple distil every drop it makes. That alone sets it apart. Three Wood takes that famously smooth spirit and runs it through three different cask types: ex-bourbon American oak. Spanish Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximenez sherry. Each wood adds a new layer. Bourbon brings butterscotch and vanilla warmth. Oloroso builds dried fruit and spice. PX sherry closes it with dark, sticky richness. The result is a Lowland single malt that feels both gentle and deeply flavoured. Pour it neat and take your time with it.

About the distillery

Distillery

Auchentoshan

Auchentoshan is a Scottish distillery located near Glasgow, in the Lowlands region of Scotland. It was founded in 1823 and is known for producing triple distilled single malt whisky. The water used in the production process comes from Loch Katrine, which is located in the Trossachs National Park. This water is naturally filtered through the hills and glens, providing a unique and pure taste to the whisky. Auchentoshan produces a range of different expressions, from their classic American Oak and Three Wood expressions to their more exclusive and limited releases. The whisky is matured in a variety of casks including bourbon, sherry, and wine casks, giving each expression its own unique flavor profile. Auchentoshan is one of the only distilleries in Scotland to use a third still in their production process. This third still, known as the "Intermediate Still," helps to create a lighter and smoother whisky by removing any impurities and adding to the complexity of the flavour.

About the Auchentoshan Three Wood

Auchentoshan Three Wood is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky from the Auchentoshan distillery, bottled at 43% ABV. It earns its name from its time in three successive cask types across Scotland Lowland region. Those casks are ex-bourbon American oak, Spanish Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximenez sherry. Few expressions in Scotland go through that full sequence. Auchentoshan is the only single malt distillery in Scotland to triple distil every batch it produces. That process strips away heavier compounds and builds a lighter, more precise spirit from the start. Three Wood then layers complexity back in through the cask programme. The bourbon wood lays down butterscotch and baking spice. The Oloroso sherry adds dried cherry, cocoa, and dark chocolate. The Pedro Ximenez finishes things with brown sugar, caramel, and allspice. On the palate, Auchentoshan Three Wood moves from sweet and creamy to richly fruited. Apricot and apple sit alongside cardamom and cinnamon. There is a warmth of black tea and clove at the back of each sip. The finish lingers with oaky sweetness and a thread of citrus peel. A faint nuttiness develops as the whisky opens up in the glass. Each element builds gradually rather than competing for attention. The distillery sits on the outskirts of Glasgow, making it one of the most urban distilleries in Scotland. Lowland whisky is known for its approachable, lighter style. Auchentoshan Three Wood shows what that style can become with patient, layered maturation behind it. The triple distillation creates a clean base that lets every cask influence read clearly. Drink it neat to follow each stage of the cask journey without distraction.
