Auchentoshan Blood Oak Lowland Single Malt [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a Lowland single malt that combines innovation with tradition through a unique maturation process?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m impressed by how Auchentoshan Blood Oak pushes boundaries in the Lowland whisky category. This Premium expression undergoes an innovative finishing period in Tawny Port casks from the Douro Valley, creating a distinctly ruby-hued spirit with exceptional depth. Unlike the classic triple-distilled profile found in Auchentoshan Three Wood or the bourbon-forward character of Auchentoshan American Oak, Blood Oak delivers a fruit-forward complexity rarely encountered in Lowland malts.

• Distillery: Auchentoshan – established 1823, Scotland’s only triple-distilled single malt
• Region: Lowland – known for delicate, approachable character with floral notes
• ABV: 40% – balanced strength showcasing fruit and spice without overwhelming sweetness
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Bourbon barrels followed by Tawny Port cask finishing
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals red berries and toffee apple; palate delivers dark chocolate, raisins, and sweet spices; finish lingers with warming oak and subtle cherry notes
• Best Served: Neat in a tulip glass at room temperature, or with a single ice cube to open fruit notes

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly food-friendly compared to heavily peated alternatives. The Port cask influence creates remarkable versatility that works beautifully alongside rich Malaysian cuisine.

Ideal for: Chinese New Year gifting, whisky collectors exploring cask finishing techniques, or intimate dinner gatherings. Pairs with: Braised char siu, dark chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, or spicy beef rendang where the fruit notes complement robust flavors. Recommended for: Those who appreciate the craftsmanship in Auchentoshan 12 Year Old but seek something more adventurous at RM 260.00.
