Auchentoshan American Oak Lowland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Lowland single malt that breaks all the traditional Scottish whisky rules?

Meet Auchentoshan American Oak, Scotland’s rebellious triple-distilled masterpiece that dares to be different. This Lowland single malt stands as the only Scottish distillery using three copper pot stills instead of the traditional two, creating an exceptionally smooth and delicate character that’s matured exclusively in first-fill American bourbon barrels. Unlike complex multi-cask expressions such as Deanston Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt or aged statements like Benromach 10 Years, this focuses purely on bourbon cask influence for vibrant American oak flavors.
