First Impressions
Released in 2014 as a replacement for the Classic, Auchentoshan American Oak leans hard into its bourbon-barrel maturation.
Distillery & Heritage
Auchentoshan, Gaelic for 'corner of the field', is Scotland's only fully triple-distilled malt distillery. The American Oak expression is matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels from the United States.
Tasting Notes in Detail
The nose is unmistakably bourbon-cask: vanilla pod, coconut, lemon sherbet, with ripe pear underneath. The palate is light but creamy — custard, banana, candied citrus and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Verdict
An honest, easy-drinking entry-level Lowlander.
