Auchentoshan American Oak is aged in casks that have contained North American Bourbon.
Casks that have contained North American bourbon are perfect for ageing Auchentoshan.
During an ageing process in the distillery's dark warehouses, the casks are carefully blended to create the sparkling citrusy nose and unmistakable smoothness of Auchentoshan American Oak.
Auchentoshan American Oak is Triple distilled
Auchentoshan American Oak is triple distilled and matured only in American bourbon barrels.
The result: a lowland malt whisky with the sweet aromas of vanilla and coconut, along with Auchentoshan's characteristic smooth and delicate flavour.
Like all Auchentoshan whiskies, American Oak is a truly versatile single malt. It works wonders as an Auchentoshan & Ale, can be drunk neat or on the rocks, but can also be mixed with some classic cocktails that might not agree with Single Malt whisky.

Tasting Notes
To The Eye: Look for the vivid, bright gold colour when selecting your Auchentoshan American Oak. Wondering what gives whisky its colour? The delicate maturing process. As the single malt matures in the quality bourbon barrels, a new and complex colour and flavour profile is created over time.
To The Nose: A vibrant bourbon infused vanilla and coconut with layers of zesty citrus fruit, making this Scotch Single Malt from Auchentoshan stand out from the crowd.
To The Tongue: A refreshingly smooth whisky taste. Lively, with vanilla cream, coconut and white peach.
To The End: Crisp, with sugared grapefruit and a lingering hint of spice.
