Description
Auchentoshan Blood Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinctive Travel Retail Exclusive bottling from the Scottish Lowlands and is aimed at connoisseurs looking for a single malt Scotch whisky with a distinctive profile. Produced by the Auchentoshan Distillery, this Lowland single malt features Auchentoshan's signature triple distillation, which gives the whisky its particular clarity and accessibility. As part of the Travel Retail series, this bottling is specifically designed for the travel retail sector and deliberately sets itself apart stylistically from the classic core range. Bottled at 46% and supplied with a gift box, this Scotch whisky is modern, powerful and distinctive.
Auchentoshan Blood Oak owes its name to the special maturation in ex-bourbon casks and red wine casks, which not only give the whisky depth and spice, but also its striking deep reddish-gold color. While the bourbon casks contribute vanilla, coconut and soft wood notes, the red wine casks provide intense fruit accents, spicy tension and an expressive structure. This combination of casks makes the Blood Oak Single Malt a deliberately "Distilled Different" interpretation of a travel retail whisky that clearly emphasizes character, color and aroma.

Tasting notes:
Color: Deep, reddish shimmering gold, with strong brilliance.
Nose: Vanilla and coconut from bourbon barrels, complemented by fresh citrus notes.
Taste: Rich and inviting, with raspberry, plum, vanilla and maraschino cherry, soft and balanced.
Finish: Spicy and warming, with redcurrants, oak spice and a lingering presence.
The Auchentoshan Blood Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky is ideal for drinking straight to clearly understand the bourbon and red wine cask maturation. In culinary terms, this Lowland single malt harmonizes particularly well with berry desserts, cherry tart, dark chocolate or pastries with red fruits, as these support the fruity depth of the whisky. This Travel Retail Exclusive whisky also impresses with mild hard cheese or as a characterful dram for a relaxed evening with its spicy, fruity and long-lasting style. (automated translation)
