Let me start by stating that I am a fan of Auchentoshan. This expression is stored in 3 different casks. American Bourbon, Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks. This gives the expression it's name...Three Wood.
It's a caramel gold colour.
The nose is very woody. Almost like cedar it's so strong with orange and plums.
The palate gives dark chocolate, sherried dark fruit, citrus, nuts.
The finish is nutty and woody and slightly bitter.
For me, this is too woody. It's over powering and slightly bitter. I really like the 12 and prefer the classic to this on as well. Nice try but

It's a fake E150a color and this also impacts the flavor. I've tasted good and bad batches. Their vary even though the E150a does not. Note to Auchen: quit putting fake shite in your nice scotch. At least release a few bottlings at a reasonable price without the E150a, aye, eh, ayyyyyy. . . . . Happy Day.
