Auchentoshan Three Wood 750ml

I was skeptical about the fruit syrup note from the description, but it really comes through beautifully with the raisins and plums. The blackcurrant and orange hints make this incredibly smooth without being too sweet.

The finish lasts forever, with the plum and raisin notes really unfolding as it warms in the glass. Sweet but never cloying, thanks to that orange zest kick weaving through the dark fruit. Perfect for a slow evening pour.

I was skeptical about a scotch with blackcurrant and orange notes, but the balance is incredible—the brown sugar sweetness comes through perfectly without being cloying. This is my new go-to for sipping neat on a quiet evening.
