- Description
- Auchroisk's 20-year-old from 1997 matured in a single refill hogshead and bottled at cask strength by Claxton's, preserving the distillery's characteristic profile without dilution or filtration. The refill cask allows underlying Speyside notes of honeyed grain, orchard fruit, and light spice to shine alongside subtle wood maturation. The high-proof delivery emphasises texture and complexity, with a measured, lingering finish. A focused expression for those who value single-cask authenticity and uncompromised distillery character.
