Auchentoshan Virgin Oak Limited Release Batch Two is a Lowland single malt from Auchentoshan Distillery Scotlands only triple-distilled single malt matured exclusively in newly charred casks crafted from North American oak, bottled without chill filtration or artificial colouring, presenting banana custard, creamy vanilla, and caramel apples on the nose with spiced fruits on the palate.

The use of new oak (virgin wood) rather than the traditional used sherry, port, or bourbon casks is a specifically American-influenced approach that provides direct, intensely sweet vanilla, caramel, and spiced fruit character from the fresh wood. The newly charred cask interior creates caramelised wood sugars and vanilla compounds that Auchentoshans characteristically light, clean, triple-distilled spirit absorbs directly. Batch Two presents a different cask selection from Batch One with distinct character at natural colour and non-chill filtered. Browse the full Scotch whisky collection at Wooden Cork.
