Auchentoshan Three Wood 43% 70cl
Three is very much the magic number for this expression of Auchentoshan. Not only is it distilled three times it has been carefully matured in three separate types of cask to add a real range to the flavour. The cask in question are ex-bourbon, ex-Oloroso sherry and ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry.
