Your description sounds so matter of fact, a good way to introduce someone to Auchentoshan. The last time that I heard it described was the first time that I tasted it, and that was on The Orient Express. The waiter made such theatre out of his description, how could I refuse? It was pure nectar, so much so, that since then I nearly always find it in my stocking after Santa's visit.
I have limited experience with lowlands Scotch & Auchentoshan but the Three woods nomenclature made me curious to learn more. The description made me ready to give it a try sometime. Thanks Robert!

Jack, what is your opinion of Siete Leguas Blanco?
I like it a lot. It has that good blue agave aroma & flavor I like. The agave is grown in the Jalisco region & cooked in a stone oven. It's copper pot distilled. You get some black pepper in both the aroma & taste but the agave dominates. Also lots of earthy & vegetal going on but no fruit or citrus. And no nectors are added back into the distillation process. I don't think it has much glycerine for mouth feel either but it may have some. I've had a couple of bottles prior to this one, then for a while I couldn't find it locally. I'll keep buying it.

Thanks Jack, my next trip to the valley I will have to pick up a bottle.

Another of my favorites is Tequila Ocho Plata Single Estate. I've been trying to learn more about the agave regions & learn to distinguish them by their agave taste. The agave for Tequila Ocho is also grown in Jalisco & comes from a Single Estate in the region. Stone ovens, cooper Pot Still, natural spring water, & wood fermentation tanks. It has a strong agave taste with black pepper, but it also has a bit of citrus & a bit of mint in addition to the vegetal & earthy taste. It also has a bit of white pepper taste in it as well.

If you find you don't like a bold agave taste you might prefer a Reposado or maybe a blend.

Frank Sinatra is quoted as saying: “Alcohol may be man’s worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.”
As Lent comes to an end and with it, my Lenten abstinence of alcohol, meat and all things sweet, I shall do as the bible instructs.

The first Partisan Ranger campout in over a yr coming up tomorrow & Sat. Hope one of the guys brings some good Shine to share. I'll be taking a couple bottles of Blue Corn Whiskey grown & distilled here in MO. Also my Thoroughbred 10X, Minie ball pipe & Scottish Woods pipe tobacco. Good food, good whiskey, good conversation. Sat 4/03 will mark the 139 yr since the killing of Jesse James.
