- Description
- Auchroisk's 2012 vintage, aged 11 years and finished in first-fill Amarone wine cask, transforms the Speyside distillery's orchard-fruit character into something richer and more wine-influenced. The Amarone wood imparts dark cherry, dried fruit, sweet almond, and dark chocolate notes, all lifted by the whisky's natural maltiness. At 58.5% abv, the spirit remains vibrant and elegant despite the wine cask's weight. Perfect for those drawn to Italian wine cask finishes and fruit-driven Speyside expressions.
