Taste & character

Aroma A rich and intense bouquet of blackberries, brown sugar, orange, and plums. The influence of the sherry casks is immediately recognisable by the scent of raisins and sweet syrup.

Taste Full-bodied and balanced on the palate, with layered flavours of dried fruit, sherry sweetness, oak, honey, ripe fruit, citrus, warm spice, pepper and a smooth, rounded structure.

Finish A long, warming finish with a lingering oaky sweetness and a touch of dark chocolate.

Serving tips & combinations

The ultimate tasting moment

• Neat: This whisky deserves to be enjoyed neat to fully experience the complexity of the three casks.

• Glassware: Use a Glencairn glass or a tulip-shaped glass. Let the whisky rest for a few minutes after pouring to allow the aromas to "breathe."

Food pairings

• Desserts: Pairs well with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, aged cheese, smoked dishes, or a fine cigar, depending on the style of the whisky.

• Cheese: The perfect partner for Henri Willig Aged Gouda cheese. The savoury texture of the cheese creates a beautiful contrast with the sweet sherry notes of the whisky.

• Snack: A handful of Marcos Tonda Delicatesse almonds accentuates the natural hazelnut nuances in this Three Wood.

The perfect gift

• The Auchentoshan Three Wood is a prestigious gift for the whisky lover who enjoys rich, sherry - aged malts. The striking bottle and the complex story make it an impressive gift for any occasion.
