- Description
- Auchentoshan's Dark Oak marries the distillery's signature light, triple-distilled character with the richness of oloroso and Pedro Ximenez cask maturation. Toffee, roasted hazelnuts, and sherry-soaked dried fruit dominate the palate, interwoven with vanilla oak spice and honeysuckle florals. The texture is smooth and rounded, with a lingering sweetness of caramel and candied fruit in the finish. An approachable Lowland malt that balances refinement with deeper cask influence.
