Auchentoshan is located northwest of the city of Glasgow with views over the Clyde River. The distillery was probably built by Irish refugees in 1825. At Auchentoshan, instead of the usual 2 in Scotland, Auchentoshan is distilled 3 times. This Blood Oak is a limited edition intended for travel retail. The whisky is aged on bourbon casks and French red wine casks. This produces this fruity malt, beautifully balanced in spiciness and sweetness through the bourbon casks.
