Auchroisk Single Malt Whisky

Auchroisk (pronounced Athrusk) is a relatively modern distillery, having begun production in 1974. Most of the production was destined for the J & B blend, however some malt was bottled as 'The Singleton' due to the perceived difficulty with pronouncing the name.

The Flora and Fauna release of 10 year old Auchroisk. Until the 2010 release of a 20 year-old, this was the only generally available distillery bottling from this young distillery.

A very potent plain hogshead cask of Diageo's blending workhorse, Auchroisk (once of Singleton fame), from the 1990 vintage, bottled by Signatory at the end of 2012 for their Cask Strength Collection. Nice to see this very overlooked single malt in its natural state.

A litre bottle of the long-defunct Singleton of Auchroisk, Diageo's introductory malt for a brief time in the 1990s. The Singleton moniker has now been passed on to Dufftown, Glendullan and Glen Ord.

An exciting release for Diageo's 2010 Super Premium releases - this is the first mainstream officially bottled Auchroisk since the demise of the original Singleton range at the turn of the century.

Since the demise of the original Singleton range, official bottlings of Auchroisk are rarer than talented X-Factor wannabes - we reckon that this 1999 Managers' Choice cask strength ex-sherry 9yo might be only the third OB we've had in recent times, alongside the Flora & Fauna bottling and a Rare Malts version. At 60.6%, this will be one for the sherry monsters out there.

A second entry in Diageo's special releases for Auchroisk, this time the oldest bottling released to date. It's a vatting of refill European and American oak matured whisky, distilled in 1982 and bottled after 30 years.
