The Auchentoshan Heartwood Travel Retail 2017 is a standout whisky from the renowned Auchentoshan Distillery, located in the Lowlands of Scotland. This distillery holds a unique place in whisky history, being one of the few remaining producers in the Lowland region and one of the very few in Scotland to offer triple-distilled Scotch. Established in 1823, with roots potentially tracing back to the Duntocher Distillery founded in 1800, Auchentoshan has experienced numerous ownership changes, yet it consistently delivers exceptional single malt Scotch. The Heartwood expression, bottled at 43% ABV and available in a generous 1000ml size, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Auchentoshan. Triple distillation raises the alcohol content from 8% to a robust 81% before maturation, enhancing the citrus and fruit notes, which later reveal the nuanced wood aromas from the oak casks. This process results in a whisky that is both complex and inviting, perfect for both whisky enthusiasts and those seeking to explore new flavors. The Heartwood offers a delightful aromatic profile with notes of raisins, oak, citrus fruits, cappuccino, and brown sugar. On the palate, it presents a harmonious blend of fruity, nutty, spicy-herbal, and slightly sweet flavors. The finish is dark and drying, with lingering winter fruits that continue to evolve long after the last sip.
The Auchentoshan Heartwood is unique due to its triple distillation process, which is rare among Scotch whisky producers. This technique enhances the fruit and citrus notes, and the maturation in oak casks brings out rich wood aromas.
Auchentoshan Distillery is situated in the Central Lowlands of Scotland, just north of Glasgow, at the transition between the Lowlands and the Highlands.
The Auchentoshan Heartwood is bottled at 43% ABV.
The Auchentoshan Heartwood Travel Retail 2017 is a testament to the distillery's mastery in creating a unique and compelling whisky. Its triple distillation process and careful maturation result in a smooth yet complex dram that is both approachable and intriguing. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this whisky offers a delightful journey through its well-crafted flavors.
