Auchroisk 10 Years Old Private Reserve

ABV: 58.2% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled on the 6th of March 2014 at the Auchroisk Distillery, known for its nutty and spicy Speyside malt. It was matured for 10 years, including secondary cask maturation in a Ruby Port Hogshead for 8 months, allowing the distillery character to shine through, producing a long finish not unlike Oloroso, but slightly sweeter. 

Bottled at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring by Cane and Grain for their Private Reserve Collection.

The Auchroisk distillery was founded in 1972 and released its first single malt in 1978. Rapid mashing, quick fermentation, and a rapid boiling regime create a fruity yet spicy malt with notes of nuts. Diageo currently owns Auchroisk, with most of the liquid produced at the distillery being used for J&B Blended Scotch Whisky. It is also bottled as a single malt for the Fauna & Flora collection and by numerous independent bottlers.
