Auchentoshan Heartwood 1L is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky released exclusively for the travel retail and duty-free market. It’s triple-distilled, like all Auchentoshan whiskies, and matured in a carefully selected combination of deeply charred American bourbon casks and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks.

Auchentoshan Heartwood 1L Tasting Notes
