Auchroisk 25 Year Old 1996 (cask 2) - Cask Strength Collection (Signatory) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Spiced pastries with whiffs of cinnamon and brown sugar are followed by zesty orange peels and wood shavings.

Palate: The citrus and spice keep on coming, candied orange leads, with boozy sultanas and baking spice in tow, while warming liquorice and earthy malt build at the core.

Finish: Prickles of pepper and warming ginger, candied nuts and marmalade linger.

Distillery Information

The Auchroisk distillery was built by Justerini & Brooks in 1974, to ensure a steady supply of malt whisky for their J&B blend. The land and springs, including the water source, Dorie’s Well, were bought for £5million. Although launched as a blending malt, master blender Jim Milne declared the quality of the bourbon-matured whisky sound enough to be sold as single-malt; however, it was still missing something. Accordingly, the spirit was given a year in sherry casks, which produced a much fuller, and fundamentally, more complex flavour. Although not sold as Auchroisk (pronounced ‘OH-thrusk’) - the company deemed the name difficult to read - the distillery’s own bottlings were first sold, up until 2001, under the name Singleton and in 1986 the first bottling, a twelve year-old, was released under this name. A very large distillery with substantial storage facilities- enough to hold 265,000 casks - Auchroisk is large enough to hold storage for other distilleries as well. Originally part of the group IDV, comprising of W A Gilbey and Justerini & Brooks, in February of 1972 the group was purchased by Watney Mann and, in July, merged with Grand Metropolitan. After the merger between Guinness and Grand Metropolitan in 1997, Auchroisk is currently under the ownership of Diageo. The distillery is still young and, as such, the range is small, based mainly around the ten year-old.
