Auchentoshan Three Wood

I picked up a bottle of this to test-drive yesterday. Given the mixed reviews, I wasn't quite sure exactly what to expect. However, on initial acquaintance, I must say that I like it. The extra wood finishing (in Oloroso and then Pedro Ximénez casks) doesn't appear, to me, to overshadow the input from the malt, but rather complements. And it adds, strangely enough, another layer of 'maturity' to the overall effect, imbuing the whisky with those 'oiled furniture' notes one experiences in the more venerable bottlings (such as the 21-year old and vintage offerings) from this distillery. Quite a good value, too. What's more, I can easily see this spirit proving a fine match to many a medium-bodied cigar. "Well done," I say.
