Drink #3: With the help of our dizzyingly (after the first two drinks) knowledgeable guide, we could have sighted the three casks used for this whisky in the cool, alcoholically atmospheric dunnage warehouse. Just gorgeous.

A real fan of this one. Very smooth and delightfully fruity taste but still warms the cockles like a good malt should.For me it falls somewhere between the smokey and peaty Lagavulin and the rich fruity Bowmore Dark. Simply superb.

Simply delicious. Much better than the Classic or Select, almost as good as the 12 year old (which I still think is the best in the Toshan range). At this price, a must have!

If I had the pleasure of having this again I'd make sure to hide the bottle. Slightly syrupy and it has this flowery fruity wood flavor that explodes on the palate. I saw on the label that the brand triple distills, but this whisky almost seems charcoal filtered. Very dark, heavy and pungent for a 10 year!

I agree with Steve above, is this the Jack Daniels of the malt world? - a "filtered and fruit fantastic", with a wonderful note of Christmas cake, gentle warmth, my last winter dram as we move into spring at last.

The Three Wood is intense, sweet and complex with a rich golden bronze appearance.
It has a blackcurrant, brown sugar, orange, plum and raisin aroma with a fruit and syrup taste.
The finish is fresh and fruity with long lasting oaky sweetness.
Brand Info:
Auchentoshan Founded by Irish refugees in 1825 on the outskirts of Glasgow, Auchentoshan is one of the last active distilleries in the Lowlands. In common with other Lowland (and Irish) whiskies, Auchentoshan malt whisky is distilled three times (as opposed to most Scottish malt whisky, which is distilled twice). This triple-distillation has the effect of softening the flavour and body of the end product.Read more >
