The Auchentoshan Dark Oak is a refined and lively single malt whisky, triple-distilled for exceptional smoothness and matured in a harmonious blend of bourbon, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. This unique aging process results in a complex and sophisticated flavor profile, characteristic of the esteemed Auchentoshan distillery from the Lowland region.
The aroma of the Dark Oak is a delightful blend of nutty and toffee notes, with a solid wood influence of coconut and vanilla, complemented by gentle oak spices. The floral character of freesia perfectly complements the red berries, strawberries, and rich sherry undertones.
On the palate, the whisky reveals an intriguing mix of spice and sweetness, featuring roasted hazelnuts, brittle, and toffee notes, alongside crème caramel, candied apple, and sugar almonds with a hint of liquorice stick tannins. The finish is both floral and sweet, with notes of honeysuckle and caramel bars.
The sherry casks impart depth and complexity to the whisky, enhancing its rich and indulgent flavor profile. The Dark Oak boasts notes of apple syrup and honey, interwoven with raisins and dates, fig bread topped with fruit compote, and a rich dark chocolate sauce, rounded off with dried dark fruit and warm, spicy nuances. With an ABV of 43%, the Auchentoshan Dark Oak is a well-balanced and sophisticated whisky, perfect for sipping and savoring, whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or new to the brand.
