- Description
- Auchroisk's 1988 distillate aged for 22 years in an octave cask—an unusually small vessel that intensifies wood interaction—resulting in a rich, concentrated Speyside whisky bottled by Duncan Taylor. At just 73 bottles, this cask-strength dram is both rare and architecturally distinctive.
