- Description
- Auchroisk's 2009 distillate matured for 13 years in Oloroso sherry hogshead before The Red Cask Company bottled it at cask strength, with 284 bottles released. This Speyside single malt balances the distillery's orchard fruit and honey character with the sherry cask's dried fruit, leather, and warming spice. The texture is naturally full, with a long finish that echoes both caramel and gentle oak tannin. An excellent single cask discovery for those seeking Speyside elegance enhanced by deliberate sherry maturation.
