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.
